In response to the announced lockdown for Logan City and the greater Brisbane area, some supermarkets have re-introduced limits on purchases.
The move comes as panic buying sets in and reports of huge line-ups as shoppers take advantage of the last few hours to make their purchases.
In a statement from Woolworths general Manager Chris Peters:- “We understand this will be an unsettling time for many Queenslanders, but we want to reassure customers we will remain open as an essential service.”
“We have continued access to stock from our suppliers and our team will be hard at work making sure it flows from our distribution centres into our stores over the coming days.
“We encourage Queenslanders to continue shopping as they usually would and to be mindful of others in the community.”
