Israelis have been stocking up on fresh meat, disinfectant gel, and canned goods as the novel coronavirus epidemic led to the country demanding all who enter it be sent to a two week quarantine period, Channel 12 reported on Tuesday.
The report claimed sales of disinfect gel increased by 3500%, causing shortage of the product and urgent requests by shop owners to manufactures to increase production.
Sales of canned goods increased by 125% and fresh meat by 300%, despite a Friday report by the Economy Ministry that “there is no shortage of food products.” console.log("catid body is "+catID);if(catID==120){document.getElementsByClassName("divConnatix")[0].style.display ="none";var script = document.createElement('script'); script.src = 'https://player.anyclip.com/anyclip-widget/lre-widget/prod/v1/src/lre.js'; script.setAttribute('pubname','jpostcom'); script.setAttribute('widgetname','0011r00001lcD1i_12258'); document.getElementsByClassName('divAnyClip')[0].appendChild(script);}else if(catID!=69 && catID!=2){ document.getElementsByClassName("divConnatix")[0].style.display ="none"; var script = document.createElement('script'); script.src = 'https://static.vidazoo.com/basev/vwpt.js'; script.setAttribute('data-widget-id','60fd6becf6393400049e6535'); document.getElementsByClassName('divVidazoo')[0].appendChild(script); }
Israel is thought to have high levels of food availability and production and the report seems to indicate people are preparing for a worst case scenario.
