LONDON: British supermarkets have called on consumers to be more considerate and reiterated they have adequate supplies, as the coronavirus saw shelves plundered and a surge in online orders.

British stores have been inundated with shoppers for more than a week, with people panic buying toilet paper, and long-life items such as pasta and canned goods. Trolleys piled high for delivery are seen as shoppers queue at the checkout of a supermarket in London. JUSTIN TALLIS/AFP Waitrose will reinforce its staff by redirecting 500 employees from John Lewis department stores, which are part of the same parent group.
