US drug stores, retailers and suppliers are racing to keep up with surging interest for cleaning products as fears over coronavirus intensify.
Demand for products like hand sanitizers, face masks and cleaning wipes has spiked, according to CVS (CVS), Walgreens (WBA) and others. CVS warned it may cause supply shortages.
“This demand may cause temporary shortages at some store locations and we re-supply those stores as quickly as possible,” a spokesperson for CVS said.
The best way to prevent transmission of the novel coronavirus is washing your hands — thoroughly — with soap and water, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
