Minnesota’s Mall of America, the largest in the United States, will close down until at least the end of the month due to the coronavirus outbreak.
“The shopping and entertainment our tenants provide is an important part of the fabric of this community. Mall of America brings people together, and it will continue to do so once we are past this current situation. But that ability to attract people is precisely why we made the decision to temporarily close our doors,” the mall wrote in a statement on Tuesday. “We must act responsibly and do our part to help slow the spread of this disease (COVID-19) that is impacting the world.”
