Grand Canyon closing to help limit spread of coronavirus
Posted
Independent Newsmedia
The Grand Canyon is closing to visitors effective immediately to help limit the spread of COVID-19.
The National Park Service received a letter Wednesday from multiple health officials recommending full closure of Grand Canyon National Park.
Upon receiving this request from the local health department, acting Superintendent Mary Risser and other officials decided to immediately close the park until further notice.
The health and safety of park visitors, employees, residents, volunteers and partners at Grand Canyon National Park is the NPS’s number one priority, according to a release.
The NPS encourages people to take advantage of digital tools to explore the park, including webcams, virtual tours, photo galleries, apps, videos and social media.
Updates about NPS operations are available at www.nps.gov/coronavirus.
