'STOP PANIC-BUYING': Supermarkets' plea to shoppers over coronavirus stockpiling
Supermarkets are urging shoppers not to buy more than they need as many are coronavirus stockpiling.
In a joint letter, UK retailers have asked customers to be considerate, so that others are not left without much-needed items.
"There is enough for everyone if we all work together," it adds.
It comes after some shops began rationing the sales of certain products to avoid them selling out completely.
In the letter, retailers say online and click-and-collect services are at "full capacity".
They add that staff are "working day and night to keep the nation fed".
It comes after readers described scenes at Oxfordshire supermarkets as 'carnage' and 'mayhem'.
