New York (CNN Business) American shoppers have been racing to stock up on hand sanitizer and other supplies as the coronavirus outbreak spreads.

Online sales of "virus protection" items like hand sanitizers, gloves, masks and anti-bacterial sprays soared 817% in January and February compared to the same period last year, according to Adobe Analytics, which tracks sales at 80 of the top 100 online retailers in the United States.

US online shoppers are also buying more drugs and non-perishable items, according to Adobe. In those same months, sales of cold, cough and flu products went up 198%, pain relievers jumped 152%, toilet paper grew 186% and non-perishable goods such as canned goods went up 69%, all compared to the same period last year.

Hand sanitizer sales have been spiking.

Adobe didn't ask consumers why they were buying the products, but the sales period lines up with the acceleration of news surrounding the spread of the novel coronavirus. There are now about about 125,000 reported cases globally

Other research firms have reported similar upticks in hand sanitizer sales.
