Up to 40 stations on the London Underground network are to be shut as the city attempts to reduce the spread of the coronavirus outbreak, BBC reports.

Transport for London (TfL) announced there would be a partial shutdown of the network from Thursday morning.

There will be no night Tube and bus services will also be reduced, it said.

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said people should not be travelling and warned services were "likely to reduce, potentially very significantly".

The move comes after Boris Johnson said the virus was spreading faster in London than other parts of the UK.
