Supermarket bosses have urged shoppers not to start panic buying while Asda is bringing in 1,000 safety marshals as the industry braces for a potential change in shopping habits ahead of new lockdown restrictions.
Tesco boss Dave Lewis said stockpiling was “unnecessary” as there was no disruption to product supply chains as a result of new government measures to tackle rising Covid-19 infection.
