TOKYO (Reuters) - Honda Motor Co <7267.T> said Friday it will keep operations at its vehicle plants in Wuhan, China, suspended through Feb. 13, as previously planned.

The Nikkei newspaper reported on Thursday that Japan's third-biggest automaker would extend the factory suspensions until at least late February. Wuhan is the epicentre of a new virus outbreak that has spread across China.

Domestic rival Toyota Motor Corp said Friday its Chinese plants would remain suspended through Feb. 16.
