However, according to the reporter's records, besides the markets that have drastically implemented measures to ensure safety and prevent the Covid-19 epidemic (mainly in large-scale markets), in smaller markets, temporary markets... there is still a phenomenon of negligence and subjectivity towards the epidemic. Some people do not wear masks when going to the market as recommended. Photo: QA |

Some traders at small markets only wear masks for a while when there are functional forces and then take them off, justifying that "wearing a mask makes it difficult to transact with customers"... Currently, the Department of Industry and Trade of Nghe An has also issued a document requesting the People's Committees of districts, cities, towns, management units, businesses, and market operators in the area to strictly implement epidemic prevention measures. In addition to the initiative of functional branches and local authorities in propagating ways to prevent and fight the Covid-19 epidemic, voluntary compliance and raising awareness of self-protection of health of each person in commercial transactions is important at this time.
