The supermarket giant told 9News.com.au in a statement the purchase limits have now started on a range of at least 50 products both in-store and online, with shoppers restricted to just two items each.

"We understand this is an anxious time for our Victorian customers, but we encourage everyone to continue shopping as they usually would and only buy what they need," Woolworths managing director Claire Peters said.

"Stock will continue to flow from our distribution centres and as an essential service, Woolworths supermarkets remain open to support customers' food and grocery needs.

"We ask that our customers continue to adhere to our social distancing and hygiene measures while in store and continue to treat our team and each other with respect while shopping."
