 Although according to Directive 16, people are still allowed to go out when absolutely necessary; stores and supermarkets selling essential goods such as food, groceries, and medicine are still operating normally, however, due to fear of disease outbreaks, people still ignore the risk of infection to gather at crowded markets to shop.
