Pansamatalang isasarado ng Sagada local government ang lahat ng public tourist spots nito in time for Valentine's Day this year.
Ito ay para maproteksiyonan ang mga residente laban sa kumakalat na 2019 novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) worldwide.
Opisyal nila itong inanunsyo sa Sagada Tourist Information Center Facebook page noong February 13, 2020, the same day na ipinatupad ni Sagada Mayor James Pooten, Jr. ang executive order nito.
Ayon post: "There is an urgent need to protect the municipality of Sagada and its residents being a top destination for tourists in the North Philippines from the threat of the COVID-19 and similar strains by strictly implementing prevention and control measures."
They are thereby suspending "all eco-tourism activities in the Municipality of Sagada due to the threats of the Coronavirus Disease 2019."
Kilala ang Sagada bilang set location ng nakakakilig na 2014 film That Thing Called Tadhana.
Pero lahat ng kilalang tourist spots nito, gaya ng Hanging Coffins at Kiltepan Viewpoint, ay kasama sa temporary shutdown "until further notice."
Hindi kabilang dito ang "privately-owned" establishments, gaya ng Sunrise View Hotel and Isang Wow Sunrise Viewdeck, Paog's Sunset Viewdeck, pati na rin ang Sagada Pottery, Sagada Weaving, Masferre's Photographs, at iba pa.
