Co.opmart supermarkets, Co.op Smile and Co.op Food will reopen on February 13, 14 and 15, but function only for half a day.
They will resume normal operations on February 17.
Amid the unpredictability of the Covid-19 epidemic, manufacturers and retailers have acted quickly to ensure supply of goods and face masks.
Saigon Co-op, with a network of nearly 1,000 outlets across the country, has activated preventive measures and logistics plans to ensure sufficient supply of Tet goods.
It also has plans in place to transport essential goods from non-epidemic to epidemic areas to serve the needs of people there.
Besides, it has worked closely with suppliers to ensure prices are steady and consumers can be assured of quantity and quality.
Customers living in epidemic-hit areas who cannot go to the supermarket to shop can instead use Saigon Co-op’s ‘Gan ket tinh than – Tet xa them gan’ programme to place orders for Tet gift hampers, and the retailer will deliver the gifts for free everywhere across the country. — VNS
