Australian supermarkets have reintroduced a cap on toilet paper purchases after a rise in COVID19 cases sparked panic-buying for a second time

Now stores have been forced to once again implement a one pack per purchase rule, following a spike in COVID-19 cases in the southeastern state of Victoria.The limit started off in just Victoria, but has since been expanded across the country in a bid to avoid similarly chaotic scenes to those seen earlier in the year.

Claire Peters, managing director of supermarkets at Woolworths, said in a statement:"We've regrettably started to see elevated demand for toilet roll move outside Victoria in the past 24 hours.

Madness, don't understand this 😂 I had bought a 24 pack of shite roll in Feb, not for any reason other than I needed it, never once seen anywhere run out.. Still got about 8 rolls left 😂
