令有需要者倍感无助 药房酒精消毒片卖断货
新型冠状病毒爆发后，国内各家商店的手术口罩、消毒液都纷纷售罄，现在连酒精消毒棉片也出现断货的情况。
脸书群组Just Keep Thinking于2月5日，分享了来自Instagram的帖文，指一名糖尿病患者到药店购买酒精消毒棉片时，被售货员告知相关物件售罄的情况。
售货员促非必要勿购买
有关的Instagram动态相信是由售货员发出的，讲述了该需要消毒片以进行定期注射胰岛素的客户在获知物件售罄后，感到不知所措和沮丧。
“人们买消毒片做什么？这么小一片，要用来抹桌子吗？抹手都不够。剥夺真正有需要者的物资吗？”
该售货员建议，促请看到帖文的人们，若没有需要，请停止购买消毒片。
