Giant retailers allay public fears, assure adequate stocks of consumer goods

The fear that the Covid-19 situation in Thailand will soon reach level 3 pandemic has caused panic buying and hoarding of face masks, hand sanitisers as well as consumer products such as rice, cooking oil, toilet paper, instant noodles and canned goods, Pathaphong Iamsuro, chief commercial officer at Big C Supercenter Plc, said on Sunday (March 15).

“In the past few days, these products have been gone from shelves at many convenience stores, supermarkets and hypermarkets,” he said. “Big C has been prepared for the situation since the early stages of the outbreak, and would like to ensure that we have enough stocks of products necessary for daily life, including rice, dried foods, frozen foods, drinking water and sanitisers.”
“There is no need to hoard consumer products at the moment,” he added.
