ritish street artist Banksy's latest work, tackling the spread of coronavirus, that appeared inside a London Underground train carriage "some days ago" has been removed, according to transport operators.
The graffiti star uploaded a video on social media Tuesday, captioned "If you don't mask - you don't get".
In it, the artist is seen in a boiler suit spray painting stencils of his iconic rats inside a train, with one sneezing blue droplets.

Transport for London later told AFP the work was removed "some days ago" due to the company's strict anti-graffiti policy.
However, the transport operator would welcome Banksy to recreate his message "in a suitable location", it added.
"We appreciate the sentiment of encouraging people to wear face coverings, which the vast majority of customers on our transport network are doing," a TfL spokesman said.
