Panic buying hits Victorian stores as Acting Premier James Merlino urges calm – PerthNow
Panic buying has returned, and even regional Victorians are joining in on the craze, but the supermarket giants have a plan to meet demand.
Panicked shoppers are stripping supermarket shelves across Melbourne and regional Victoria as people stock up on supplies hours before the state heads into its fourth major lockdown in 12 months.
Shoppers observed bare shelves in some stores moments after Acting Premier James Merlino on Thursday morning declared a seven day lockdown for Victoria starting from 11.59pm on Thursday.
Debbie Brewer said she noticed a lack of toilet paper, tissues and long-life milk at Woolworths in Eltham.
