TOKYO -- Japanese electronics retailer Bic Camera will double its ability to process online orders as consumers turn to internet shopping while they stay at home to avoid the new coronavirus. 

Last month, the Tokyo-based company expanded floor space to process online orders by 70% at a key warehouse in Chiba Prefecture. The company will be able to ship twice as many packages as a result.
