LONDON (Reuters) – British supermarkets are expecting to get police support to deter unruly behavior when London goes into lockdown to contain the coronavirus outbreak, according to an industry source.
There were rowdy scenes in some supermarkets on Thursday as British shoppers sought to buy basic goods such as bottled water and tinned goods ahead of an expected toughening of measures by the UK government.
