These are not the only closed hotels
Though these are the latest closures at Universal Orlando Resort, unfortunately they aren't the only hotels that haven't been welcoming guests recently, as Loews Portofino Bay Hotel and Universal’s Endless Summer Resort Dockside Inn and Suites also remain closed at this time.
Sadly, after next week's closure, only Hard Rock Hotel, Loews Royal Pacific Resort, Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort, and Universal’s Endless Summer Resort Surfside Inn and Suites remain open. And while we're not expecting these resorts to close in the near future, with bookings undoubtedly way down for the fall due to the cancellation of Halloween Horror Nights, we could see some downsizing at these remaining hotels later this year as well.
Unfortunately, there is no way to know when things will improve, not only for Universal Orlando Resort but for the larger theme park industry, including Disney, SeaWorld, Cedar Fair and more, which all find themselves making cuts where they can to stay alive in the current challenging climate.
As always, while this situation is evolving, all travelers should check out the CDC's official site here, which has information on the virus and how to prevent its spread.

I just got off the phone after switching g my Aventura reservation in November. They upgraded my wife and I to similar room at Hard Rock for no charge.
The agent also said that Aventura and Sapphire Falls are closed through the end of the year.
