Hanoi organize mobile shopping points to ensure safety against the COVID-19 epidemic

With the current situation of the COVID-19 epidemic in Hanoi, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has also asked the Hanoi Department of Industry and Trade to have a plan to arrange mobile shopping points in the city.

Facing the situation that units supplying goods for a number of supermarkets and traditional markets in Hanoi city has multiple cases of COVID-19 virus infections, the People's Committee of Long Bien District has organized 4 mobile shopping points in the district to ensure effective disease prevention and control. This also helps to decrease the number of people coming to traditional markets, although the district only allows people to go to markets every 3 or 4 days.

People who come to buy goods here must make a medical declaration in accordance with regulations or bring a market ticket. No more than 5 people can buy at a time. These mobile shops only sell essential goods such as fresh food (vegetables, fish, meats) and dry food at the same price as a regular supermarket.

As noted by our reporters, fresh food of all kind are preserved with ice to ensure freshness. The price of all the goods is listed publicly so that buyers can easily decide what to buy. 5K regulations are strictly implemented

With the current situation of the COVID-19 epidemic in Hanoi, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has also asked the Hanoi Department of Industry and Trade to have a plan to arrange mobile shopping points in the city.

If this model is replicated in other places, it can satisfy the shopping needs of people and at the same time reduce the risk of infection when too many people gather at places like traditional markets./.
