Rationing has been brought in to supermarkets across the UK after panic buying stripped the shelves of food, toiletries and every day essentials.
The Government last week told people not to panic buy as supplies of food and essentials will be maintained in supermarkets as the Covid-19 virus continues to spread.
But shoppers have ignored the advice, stripping shelves bare, forcing supermarkets to restrict the number of items people can buy.
Tesco has introduced a five-item maximum on a number of foods including long-life milk, pasta and anti-bacterial wipes.
It has sold out of many types of pasta online, reports BirminghamLive, while The Guardian the shop is also running low on tinned food - such as tomatoes.
Tesco
