The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in a shortage of canned beverages, according to a Coca-Cola Co. tweet. The company acknowledged the shortage in response to a consumer who wanted to know why its Cherry Coke Zero was so hard to find.

Coke said there is a greater demand for products consumed at home, and it is taking measures to adapt to the demand.

"We are working closely with our customers and our suppliers to mitigate the challenge during this unprecedented time," the company said in the tweet.
