Malaysia went into a two-week partial lock down on Wednesday after coronavirus infections in the country spiked to the highest in Southeast Asia, with some buyers rushing to supermarkets to stock up on essentials like instant noodles.

Malaysia and the Philippines, which has quarantined about half its 107 million population, have imposed the toughest restrictions on movements of people in Southeast Asia, causing early confusion and chaos, though capital markets in both countries will stay open.

Hordes of Malaysians who commute daily to Singapore for work crossed the border to spend the next two weeks there. “People coming and rushing is still going to see the disease spread, said Ahmad Fauzi, 60, who had been up early to shop to avoid the crowds. “They should be more calm.” Mydin Managing Director Ameer Ali Mydin told Reuters that supply was adequate at his chain of store but that “people must understand that they cannot be too selective”.
