TOKYO, Feb 28 (Reuters) - Tokyo Disneyland will be closed
starting from Saturday through to March 15 amid an outbreak of
coronavirus infections in Japan, operator Oriental Land Co Ltd
 4661.T  said on Friday.
    Both Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea will be closed starting
Saturday, the company said. 
    The move comes after Prime Minister Shinzo Abe called for
all schools to close to stop the coronavirus spreading. The
government has also urged that big gatherings and sports events
be scrapped or curtailed for two weeks.
