Uber Technologies Inc. and Lyft Inc. suspended their shared car pool services in the U.S. and Canada in a bid to slow the coronavirus pandemic.

Uber and Lyft’s regular ride-hailing services and food delivery will still be available, the companies said.

Uber said it may adjust remaining operations as needed based on official guidance.
