BREAKING: Universal Studios Japan Closing April 25th Due to State of Emergency
Although Japan has done incredibly well compared to other nations in controlling COVID-19, a massive spike of the highly contagious UK variant of the coronavirus has led Osaka Prefecture and two surrounding areas to declare a third State of Emergency. And updated guidelines for this emergency include provisions to close Universal Studios Japan starting April 25th to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in Osaka. No reopening date has been announced yet.
This is in line with predictions made earlier this week, when Osaka Prefectural Governor Hirofumi Yoshimura announced his intent to close theme parks as part of his State of Emergency request. The news was delivered via a press release from Universal Studios Japan to Universal Parks News Today.
