Supermarkets have started to limit some items that a customer can take to ensure that everyone has fair access to them after the first case of COVID-19 was confirmed in Fiji yesterday.
This is after retailers were asked by the Fijian Competition and Consumer Commission to exercise their judgement based on customer and store locations to limit sales for customers.
All New World Supermarket outlets have limited the sale of 1 bag 4kg sugar per customer and a maximum of 2 bags of garlic per customer.
They are also allowing an individual to purchase only one 10 pack of toilet paper.
When asked about these measures, they say that these are the items that are going quickly which is why the limitations have been put in place.
Similar arrangements were seen at MH Superfresh.
We have also seen that the panic buying by people which was witnessed yesterday has settled down and the supermarkets were not as busy today.
