Food: Canned food (mostly vegetables and canned lean meats like salmon, tuna, chicken), frozen packaged foods, fresh veggies and meats that freeze well, potatoes and onions (stored well, last for several weeks). If your personal diet permits, things like potato chips, dried meats and jerky, dried fruit, rice, and boxed pasta will also work well. Bottled water/drinks.

Non-food: Shampoo, body wash, toothpaste, toilet paper (a reasonable amount, the US has gone insane with this one), tampons/pads (if you use these).

Entertainment: board games, puzzles, card deck, and I'm seconding the condoms answer if you need them for contraception.

Also don't forget to grab extras of any beauty items you might run out of during your quarantine time, like face moisturizer or mascara or whatever.

If you're looking for more info on these sorts of things, I find the prepper subreddit to be quite helpful, although it does occasionally descend into people convinced the apocalypse is mere hours away.

First of all, I wouldn't panic. I live in the epicenter of the outbreak in the United States and we haven't hoarded anything. We are still able to get what we need from the store (definitely can get whatever you need from the expensive hippy dippy organic co-op, because as I have learned, humanity only panics on the cheap), minus hand sanitizer but you're better off washing your hands with soap and water anyway. I have no idea why people are stocking up on water or candles because a virus isn't going to shut down the pipes or electricity. This isn't the nuclear holocaust. It appears people who insist o panicking are buying a lot of rice and beans as that tends to keep well. Canned goods keep well although don't have much nutritional value.

Check what happy preppers do, with a grain of salt as they can go to extremes.

They have tones of recommendations on their website.
