Supplementary notes
Both the March and September surveys were carried out with 1,005 respondents.
Survey questions for both months slightly differed from each other. The original questions were:
"What hygiene or cleaning products are you using more now than before the spread of the novel coronavirus or COVID-19?" for the September wave.
And:
"What hygiene or cleaning products have you used more of since learning about the novel coronavirus or COVID-19 outbreak?" for the March wave.
