Honda may keep Wuhan plants closed longer due to outbreak: Nikkei
TOKYO (Reuters) - Honda Motor Co (T:7267) is considering keeping operations suspended for longer than planned at its three plants in the Chinese city at the center of the new coronavirus outbreak, the Nikkei newspaper reported on Thursday.

Output at most of Honda's other plants in China has been stopped through Feb. 9.
Automakers have suspended output at many factories in China in line with government guidelines to prevent the spread of the virus which has led to some 560 deaths in the country.
