New Delhi:The demand for masks and sanitisers is increasingly growing in the Delhi-NCR region after schools closed in precautionary against coronavirus.
Meanwhile in some areas like Lajpat Nagar phase-4, some people began spreading rumours that masks and sanitisers were sold out at chemist shops. Many also started to shop online to get their supply for masks and sanitisers.
The Retailer, Distributors, Chemists Alliance (RDCA), claims that there is no shortage of masks and sanitisers and says the demand is increasing owing to panic situation around COVID-19, after a person from Delhi tested positive.
It is said that various schools in south Delhi and neighbouring areas have also advised their students to take precautions and carry a sanitiser with them along with masks. Parents also have started to tell their wards to use masks every time they get out of the house.
