▶ Ho Chi Minh: Started distribution of numbered shopping tickets

In Tu Duc City, which reports directly to Ho Chi Minh City, and each ward / county in the city, we have started distributing "shopping numbered tickets" that are required to be submitted when entering supermarkets, convenience stores, and markets.

This will be implemented as part of measures to prevent infection with the new coronavirus, and will be introduced as a measure to avoid the congestion that occurs during shopping.

Numbered tickets are issued and distributed under the guidance of the People's Committee, and the days of the week when you can go shopping are determined based on the degree of infection risk in each region, and you are allowed to shop twice a week or three times a week. It is said that.

Numbered tickets have already begun to be used in some areas, and each household is allowed to shop up to three times a week in Go Bop District. Each numbered ticket is valid only once, and the head of household can purchase groceries and daily necessities on the day of the week presented on the numbered ticket. Customers are required to submit a numbered ticket when entering the store.
