The advice from Australia's health authorities to shoppers spooked by endless empty supermarket shelves and images of overflowing trolleys is to have a few days worth of food - but no more.
Australia's chief medical officer Brendan Murphy on Sunday called for 'sensible' purchasing of necessities in the wake of self-isolation fears, as supermarkets across the country struggle to restock.
"For most people we don't want to encourage major panic buying at the moment," he told ABC's Insiders program on Sunday morning.
"We've seen that with the supermarket chains. But I think it is probably sensible to have a few days of supply."
The Victorian Chief Medical officer was out telling everyone to have two weeks supply. He is now retracting that statement to a few days of supply now.
You tell people two weeks supply they will go for two months. Tell them a few days then they will stockpile for two weeks. I don’t know how the Australian Brain works.
