The Da Nang Department of Industry and Trade will take over and operate essential selling points previously run by the municipal Police Department from 7:00am – 11:00am from September 6 – 12. 

The move aims to continue to ensure the sufficient and timely supplies of a wide range of good –quality foods and essential products for all locals who are still subject to the ‘stay-at-home’ mandate in some high-risk areas.

Based on the COVID-19 situation in the city, the operation of these sales points may continue or stop according to the decision of the municipal People's Committee.

The 22 sales points will be operated in 4 districts, namely Hai Chau, Thanh Khe, Lien Chieu and Cam Le.

The mobile sales points will show off abundant amount of goods as meat, fish, eggs, root, tuber and leaf vegetables, rice, instant noodles, pork, chicken and duck meat, seasonings and dried goods for sale. Al of them are stored in refrigerated containers of 20 feet or 40 feet.

The representatives of socio-political forces, including the Viet Nam Fatherland Front and Women’s Union and Youth Union chapters, the authorities of residential groups and volunteers will be mobilised to do shopping and deliver the ordered food to the doorsteps of local families in the 4 aforementioned districts.
