As the previous plan, the market is expected to resume its operation on July 5; however, the Economic Division of Hoc Mon District proposed the company's board of directors to continue halting direct delivery of goods at the market. That aims to ensure the pandemic prevention and control amid Covid-19 case surge at Hoc Mon wholesale market.
To limit the Covid-19 spreading, Hoc Mon agricultural products wholesale market started to cease direct goods delivery from June 28 for cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting the entire market.
By 6 p.m. on July 2, 105 out of 234 markets in Ho Chi Minh City have been temporarily closed to prevent Covid-19, including Hoc Mon wholesale market and 104 traditional markets.
