A total of 14 transport workers have died in the capital, Sadiq Khan has announced.

The Mayor of London said the death toll includes nine bus workers, three Transport for London employees, a Tube worker and an employee for one of TfL’s suppliers.

Mr Khan said they have implemented stricter measures to protect staff.

‘We’ve made sure, for example, that we’re using advanced cleaning regimes,’ he told Sky News.

‘We’re using antiviral disinfectant, the sort of stuff you use in hospitals, to clean not just the steering wheels, but the handles, the bus garages, the restrooms.

‘We’ve also made sure that passengers can’t sit too near a bus driver’.
