"We also want to ensure that we as a community do our part to halt the spread of the highly infectious COVID-19 disease."

Theater and film

The threat of coronavirus has also led the Stanford Theatre in downtown Palo Alto to close until further notice.

"This voluntary decision reflects only an abundance of caution. We are not aware of any infected persons having been at the theater," general manager Cynthia Mortenson-Colombetti said in a statement issued Monday.

The closure means the last two weeks of the film festival honoring Japanese film director and screenwriter Akira Kurosawa was suspended. The festival was originally scheduled to end March 15, but the theater hopes to screen the remaining films at another date.
