Vegetables and eggs are the most in short supply in HCM City due to the supply disruption caused by COVID-19, and the city needs support from provinces in the eastern and Central Highlands regions to mitigate this.
HCM City authorities have demanded that supermarkets and convenience stores take preventive measures to handle essential goods reselling at much higher prices, causing a supply shortage at supermarkets.
When HCM City went into lockdown under Government Directive 16 on July 9, many businesses and manufacturers prepared plans to set up temporary accommodations for their workers to avoid the spread of coronavirus and maintain production.
