In the early morning of July 27, people used the stamps to go to Nhat Tan market. |
At about 5:30 am on July 27, many people in Nhat Tan Ward went to the market to buy food and necessities. |
"We went to each household to distribute the stamps on July 26," said the leader of Nhat Tan Ward. |
Each resident is entitled to one stamp per day to avoid gatherings in the market. |
Those who go to the market are checked for body temperature. |
Many people buy enough food for two days. |
A fence was erected to ensure the distance between people who have to don face masks, wash hands with antiseptic and keep a two-meter distance from each other. |
