The store shelves are empty, the food trays are clean, the necessities are also gone. The price of vegetables at the market is 2.3 times higher than usual. The seller only said one sentence: "No other choice, closing soon".

It has been more than 2 years since the Covid-19 epidemic appeared in Vietnam, however, people's psychology is still quite "unstable" before the changes. The proof is that when the notice of distance according to directive 16 began to appear on the radio and social networks, people rushed to buy goods.

Some supermarkets in the city had to put up signs saying out of stock, stopped serving online delivery because the number of shoppers suddenly fluctuated and was more crowded than usual.

A resident of the city. Thu Duc shared: "In the afternoon, coming home from work, I stopped by the supermarket to buy vegetables for stir-frying, but I didn't have a bunch. Asked the salesperson, they said it was over from 14:00. This is not the first time I have witnessed it. Even the neighbor grocer advised his family to buy instant noodles, soy sauce, fish sauce... to have at home, he said that he had just returned from Cho Lon (District 5), The goods people have lined up to buy almost all, so it is impossible to squeeze in."
