Supermarkets and pharmacy shelves have been stripped bare of hand-sanitiser and alcoholic wipes, with concerns about coronavirus the driving factor.

3AW Mornings investigated the apparent shortage on Tuesday.

Lana told Neil Mitchell she owned a pharmacy and there was a shortage in stock.

President of the Pharmacy Guild, George Tambassis, said manufacturers were now boosting production.
