Mr. Hai on Sunday worked with retailers Co.opmart and Big C in Hanoi on ways to meet the people’s increasing demand for goods as COVID-19 is worsening.

Representatives of Co.opmart and Big C reported that in recent days, the number of customers has surged, but their supply of goods is sufficient. The retailers said they will increase the stockpiles of goods 2 or 3 times higher than before given the complicated developments of the disease.
