SINGAPORE – The chief executive of supermarket chain FairPrice, Mr Seah Kian Peng, urged calm on Friday (Feb 7), assuring that stocks of groceries at its stores would be replenished after items began flying off shelves at some supermarkets here.
This comes after the Government announced earlier in the day that it will be ramping up its disease outbreak response to the coronavirus situation by a notch to Dorscon (Disease Outbreak Response System Condition) Orange, which is just below the highest level of Red.
The move was made even as three more Singaporeans were confirmed to be infected with the coronavirus but did not have any links to previous cases or travel history to China.
Mr Seah said in a Facebook post on Friday evening that FairPrice has seen a surge and some panic buying of groceries at its physical and online stores on the same day.
Some shelves may be empty as a result, he said, but urged people to remain calm as stocks are being replenished.
