British Airways has cancelled all its flights to Beijing and Shanghai until April due to the coronavirus outbreak.
The airline said on Monday that it has cancelled flights to and from the cities due to the Foreign Office’s “continued advice against all bust essential travel to mainland China.”
BA flights to Hong Kong remain unaffected, the carrier added.
It comes after four more people were diagnosed with coronavirus in the UK, bringing the total to eight.
Two of the new coronavirus cases announced on Monday involve healthcare workers, Public Health England said.
Meanwhile, five are closely linked to a businessman who was told he had it last week in Brighton.
In a statement on Monday, British Aiways said: “Following the Foreign Office’s continued advice against all but essential travel to mainland China, we have cancelled all our flights to Beijing and Shanghai until 31 March 2020. All our flights travelling from Beijing and Shanghai have been cancelled until 1 April 2020.
