In response to the advisory to remain in isolation for as long as possible during the Covid-19 pandemic, many shoppers have responded by stocking up on food, medicine and cleaning agents.
The Pasta's Gone-Hannaford Supermarket in Red Hook

There is a daily purchase limit on this item of 2 per customer, Isle 14 Hannaford Supermarket, Red Hook
From Eric Dougherty on March 13, 2020
Paper towels, napkins, toilet paper, wipes, tissue boxes and anything that could possibly work as a substitute are gone. During this time there were no known cases of Covid-19 in Dutchess County, but cases were starting the rise in NYC. Hannaford's in Red Hook was super packed that day. There was grocery cart traffic. The people were nice. An older lady didn't mind letting me cut through the line to the cashier that extended way into one of the grocery isles. I saw several students from Bard. There was no bottled water left ( in my eyes at least). Only Smart water and Fiji water bottles were left behind. The cheap 3 dollar packs with a dozen were gone. I was looking for certain medicines too. In the pharmacy isles at least 10 stacks of medicine were completely empty. I was able to leave with Tylenol, DayQuil and saline packets.
On March 6, 2020, isle 13 in Hannaford's at Red Hook still had toilet paper and paper towels.
