SHANGHAI, Jan 26 (Reuters) - China’s northern city of Tianjin will shut all inter-province shuttle buses from Jan. 27 in order to curb the coronavirus outbreak, the official People’s Daily reported on Sunday.

The report, which cites a decision by the Tianjin Municipal Transportation Commission, did not say when bus services would resume.
