British Airways has suspended all flights into and out of mainland China, the airline announced on Wednesday.
The decision by British Airways comes as countries step up efforts against the novel coronavirus, which began in Wuhan, China, and has spread globally.
Read the full British Airways statement:
"We have suspended all flights to and from mainland China with immediate effect following advice from the Foreign Office against all but essential travel.
We apologize to customers for the inconvenience, but the safety of our customers and crew is always our priority.
