Although epidemic prevention measures were taken, in reality, very few people came to the market to buy goods, and there were even more vendors than customers. In the photo: Ben Thuy Market was deserted on the morning of September 15. Photo: NC

Ms. Nguyen Thi Dung, a trader at Ben Thuy market, sighed: "This morning I set up my stall early after nearly a month of being closed due to the epidemic. I thought it would be busy, but unexpectedly the market was deserted. I only sold 2kg of meat to 3 customers all morning. The traders had to help each other buy goods to avoid unsold products."

The situation at Hung Phuc market is similar, the aisles in the market are deserted. It is known that this market has nearly 100 traders; however, on the morning of September 15, only more than 30 traders came to sell, the number of people coming to the market to shop was very small. Photo: NC

With no customers, many vendors took the opportunity to surf their phones or review their books. It is known that the main reason why people are not "keen" on going to the market is because they are still afraid of the epidemic, when many previous Covid-19 infections in Vinh City were related to the market. Moreover, going to the market to shop requires many epidemic prevention checks, so many people have chosen to have their goods delivered or go to essential stores on the roads. Photo: NC
