Abstract

Two of Britain's biggest grocers stepped up their response to the coronavirus pandemic as shoppers crowd stores, with J Sainsbury Plc rationing purchases and Wm Morrison Supermarkets Plc planning to hire 3,500 people to expand its home-delivery service. Sainsbury also will shut fresh-food counters to help deal with the crush, while opening stores only to the elderly for one hour on Thursday to help them get the supplies they need before shelves are stripped bare.
