LONDON, March 18 (Reuters) - British online supermarket
Ocado has closed access to its website until March 21
as it struggles to deal with "a simply staggering amount of
traffic" because of the coronavirus, it said on Wednesday.
It said customers will not be able to edit an existing order
or book a new delivery for the next few days.
The company said the closure will enable it to carry out
essential work that will help to ensure distribution of products
and delivery slots is as fair and accessible as possible for all
customers going forward.
