Tesco tells people to visit stores to get food
It said in the first weeks of the virus, there was "significant panic buying", with sales up almost a third.
Tesco said that had now subsided with food stocks "returning to normal".
"Between 85% and 90% of all food bought will require a visit to a store and here significant changes to the store environment have been implemented to maximise safety for colleagues and customers," chief executive Dave Lewis said.
Mr Lewis said that during its peak week of stockpiling, Tesco sold:
In contrast, he said sales of clothing and fuel both fell by 70%.
- 3.1 million containers of liquid soap, an increase of 363%
- 6 million tins of beans, more than double the usual amount
- 3.3 million tins of tomatoes, up 115% compared to a typical week
- 3.6 million packets of toilet roll, an increase of 76%
The chain said it would continue trying to "prioritise home delivery for the most vulnerable in society".
