'loo rolls during the pandemic' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'difficult to get hold of ordinary' is the wordplay.
'difficult' becomes 'hard' (synonyms).
'to get hold of' indicates putting letters inside.
'ordinary' becomes 'O' (abbreviation eg in O-Level, Ordinary Level).
'hard' placed around 'o' is 'HOARD'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hoard that I've seen before include "Cache" , "A lot of people" , "Accumulation" , "(Miser's) store" , "Collect; lay in" .)
