Panic shopping hits city supermarkets

[beth]

Panic shopping set in across Nairobi Friday afternoon after Kenya announced its first case of Covid-19, commonly referred to as coronavirus.

Posts and pictures of people panic-buying toiletries and foodstuffs proliferated on social media.

Following the rush by Nairobi residents to stockpile amid fears of spread of coronavirus, Tusker Mattresses Limited CEO Dan Githua issued a statement urging the public to be calm.

“Tuskys has this afternoon noticed a shop floor traffic spike primarily arising from Covid-19 related panic shopping.

“We wish to assure the public that the panic is unnecessary. We have engaged our suppliers and received firm commitments that we shall continue receiving the necessary supplies at the standard prices,” Mr Githua said.

TO BE HONEST, YOU GUYS HAVE TO PAY FOR WHAT HAPPENED WHEN A FLIGHT FROM CHINA LET LANDED.

YOU TRIED TO PUNISH THE ONE WHO DISCLOSED INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC !

THE WHOLE OF E.A IS NOW ON WORRIES!

WE TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO CALL ALL OUR LEADERS TO TAKE MORE SERIOUS PRECAUTIONS OVER CORONA, AS IT'S GETTING CLOSER N CLOSER TO US.

Sanitizers ndio naona zimeisha kote, na ndio za msingi.
Corona sio issue kubwa ukifahamu unavyopaswa kuishi, hakikisha haugusi pua, macho au mdomo kabla kuosha mikono kwa sabuni au utumie sanitizer.
