Fleurieu pharmacies have sold out of facemasks due to the coronavirus scare.

The Hayborough Pharmacy in Victor Harbor and Priceline Pharmacy in Goolwa both have a list of customers waiting for replacement stock to arrive.

They include people unable to find masks in Adelaide and who are now searching further afield.

The South Australian Department of Health confirmed the state’s first two cases of the virus this morning, Sunday 2 February. The infected couple flew into Adelaide from Wuhan on China Southern Airlines flight CZ663 on January 21 and are being treated in isolation at the Royal Adelaide Hospital. 

The South Australian Department of Health advises that any travellers who have returned from Hubei Province, China, and anyone who has had contact with a confirmed case of novel coronavirus, should stay isolated for 14 days.
