German discounter Lidl has introduced a four item limit on several lines as part of emergency measures to keep shelves stocked for customers.
Household essentials, cleaning products, pasta rice and tinned goods have now been capped at four items per customer.
The retailer follows the likes of Sainsbury's, Asda, Morrisons and Waitrose who have all introduced stockpiling bans to hep prevent panic-buying.
"Our teams, particularly those in our stores and warehouses, are working very hard to ensure that all customers continue to have access to all of the products that they need," a statement told Mirror Money.
"We have limited the sale of products including household essentials, cleaning products, pasta rice and tinned goods to four items per customer.
"Our Supply Chain teams are working very closely with our suppliers to increase supply on any products that have experienced high sales volumes, in order to maintain availability.
Customers at rival Aldi have also been issued with a new set of rules during the coronavirus outbreak.
All items are now capped at four per person - including food and household essentials.
It became the first supermarket to introduce rations on all its products in a bid to keep shelves stocked and cope with continued panic-buying from customers.
On Thursday, Waitrose became the latest grocer to introduce a cap on all items for shoppers online and instores.
All items will be limited to three per person from Friday - with toilet roll limited to just two.
Coffee bars will also be closed until further notice - while some branches will also close early to allow staff to restock aisles with essential items.
From Friday, the supermarket will also start a new shopping hour for the elderly and vulnerable, allowing them to pick up goods on a priority need basis.
The first hour will be dedicated to those in need - while the grocer said it is also working on a way to support its vulnerable customers who need food delivered to them.
Sharon White, of the John Lewis Partnership, said: "At this time of national crisis, the John Lewis Partnership is wholeheartedly committed to ensuring we support customers and in particular the elderly and most vulnerable.
"Our commitment to contribute to the wellbeing of the communities we operate in has always been at the heart of our business.
"Partners have been outstanding, supporting each other and responding to the huge surge in demand at Waitrose. More than 2,100 John Lewis Partners are helping in Waitrose shops this month and supporting deliveries; I am truly grateful to everyone."
