Another iconic American park is closing to the public due to coronavirus. Grand Canyon National Park announced its closure 'immediately' in a press release Wednesday evening.
Grand Canyon National Park announced its closure"immediately" in a press release Wednesday evening., Grand Canyon welcomed nearly 6 million visitors last year.
That's in accordance with the agency's plan to modify operations on a"park-by-park basis," using guidance from state and local public health authorities and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, according to a notice on the NPS website. The park already had been operating with very limited services, but had resisted a call from The Coalition to Protect America's National Parks and other groups to close down entirely in the interest of public safety.
