The Museum of Flight said Wednesday it is temporarily suspending public operations and visits to its Seattle and Paine Field facilities to comply with King County and the State of Washington guidelines to minimize the spread of COVID-19.

"In keeping with the community’s best interest, the museum is joining other area attractions in temporarily closing its campus and the Museum’s Restoration Center and Reserve Collection, located on Paine Field in Everett, to the public after 5 p.m. today," the museum said in a statement.

Museum President and CEO Matt Hayes added that closure was necessary for "the safety of our community, our employees, our volunteers."

Many elderly and retired Boeing engineers work as volunteers, and their health would be at risk if exposed to the coronavirus.

Both are now shut down until at least the end of the month.
