Google My Business Adds A Temporarily Closed Option for Business Impacted by COVID-19

It looks like Google has enabled the option to temporarily mark COVID-19 impacted businesses as closed directly from Google My Business.

To make your profile appear as temporarily closed on Google Maps and Search:

1. On your computer, sign in to Google My Business.
2. In the menu on the left, click Info.
3. To the right, point to the section “Close this business on Google”. To expand this section you might need to click the arrow.
4. Click Mark as temporarily closed.

If you have multiple profiles, select the profile you want to change then follow steps 2 and 3 above to mark your businesses as temporarily closed.

Update: 31/03/2020

Google officially states that marking a business as Temporarily closed doesn’t impact ranking or visibility.

Temporarily closed doesn't impact ranking or visibility.
