Coles, Woolworths say supplies safe despite border closure via @suemitchellafr

Coles and Woolworths are confident the border closure between NSW and Victoria will cause little disruption to food and grocery supplies, and have lifted almost all purchase restrictions put in place last week amid another outbreak of panic buying.

Coles said on Monday night it would drop all limits on purchases at its supermarkets and convenience stores, and Coles Online from Tuesday.

"We thank customers for their patience and understanding while the limits were in place to help us manage increased demand in stores and temporary delays in our Victorian supply chain," a spokesman said.

"We ask that customers continue to buy only what they need and observe all safety and physical distancing measures in our stores."

Woolworths quickly followed suit, lifting all purchase restrictions apart from toilet paper, but said it would not hesitate to reinstate product limits if needed.
