Empty shelves in the supermarkets in Nairobi as Kenyans flock buying stocks over coronavirus fears. Tuskys went out of stocks following impulse buying.

Posts and pictures of people panic-buying toiletries and foodstuffs propagated on social media.


Nairobi residents to stockpile amid fears of the spread of coronavirus, Tusker Mattresses Limited CEO Dan Githua issued a statement urging the public to be calm.



“Tuskys has this afternoon noticed a shop floor traffic spike primarily arising from Covid-19 related panic shopping, "


“We wish to assure the public that the panic is unnecessary. We have engaged our suppliers and received firm commitments that we shall continue receiving the necessary supplies at the standard prices,” Mr Githua said.
