New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art has announced it will be closing its doors Friday to aid in stopping the spread of the coronavirus

This includes the Fifth Avenue flagship as well as the the Met Breuer and the Met Cloisters, the New York Times reports. The closure announcement does not come with a planned reopening date, and the spaces will be cleaned in the meantime.
“While we don’t have any confirmed cases connected to the museum, we believe that we must do all that we can to ensure a safe and healthy environment for our community, which at this time calls for us to minimize gatherings while maintaining the cleanest environment possible,” Daniel Weiss, the Met’s president and chief executive, said in a statement provided to the Times. The Met was set to celebrate its 150th anniversary later this month.
Earlier this week, a Broadway usher who had worked at both the Booth Theatre and the Brooks Atkinson Theater tested positive for the virus. Shows at those theaters are still operational.
