Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort will remain closed until further notice due to the spread of coronavirus, a spokesperson for The Walt Disney Company announced on Friday.

Additionally, resort and parks cast members will continued to be paid through April 18. Park closures were first announced on March 13 due to the spread of the coronavirus. Initially, Disney said it will continue to pay its cast members until the end of March. The company also recommended that any employees able to work from home — including those at its film studio and TV business — do so.

“While there is still much uncertainty with respect to the impacts of COVID-19, the safety and well-being of our guests and employees remains The Walt Disney Company’s top priority,” Disney’s statement read on Friday.
