Coles introduces limit on toilet paper

The move comes after many stores ran out of supplies over fears of the coronavirus.

A Coles spokesperson said to ensure all of their customers have access to toilet paper, a temporary purchase limit of four packs per customer transaction now applies in-store and online.

"This will help us maintain stock levels in stores while our suppliers increase local production and our distribution centres increase deliveries.

"Coles has also increased the number of deliveries to stores this week to improve availability on other popular products, such as long-life pantry staples and healthcare items and our teams are working hard to fill the shelves as quickly as possible."

The Coles spokesperson said while there may be some temporary stock shortages, the vast majority of products in our stores and via Coles online remain available for customers.

"We apologise to customers if the product they want is currently out of stock, and our team is working hard to improve availability across the store."

There are still no cases of COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) in Mount Isa.
