A statement has been made by Jason Godwin, that reads: ‘Due to the threat of coronavirus, we have taken the decision to help prevent its spread and to protect our clients and our team. Mayan Monkey Mijas will be closed for at least fifteen days from today the 14th of March. We will keep you posted and look forward to welcoming you once the virus is under control. We’re all in this together. Let’s stay home. Let’s stay safe. Lets beat this together.’
