During the new crown pneumonia epidemic prevention period, Costco was still in long queues, and citizens queued for Costco to snatch masks. Recently, relevant departments of Minhang District of Shanghai held overnight interviews with Costco Supermarket, asking them to control the flow of people.
On the evening of February 23, when reporters visited the Costco site, they saw that the supermarket had strictly implemented measures to limit 1,000 people, and internal traffic was not large. The staff told the reporter that during the actual operation, when the internal traffic of the supermarket was close to 700, the release would be stopped. The reporter noticed that the supermarket is currently open from 9 am to 9 pm. Many citizens also deliberately make purchases at the time when the business is about to end to avoid peak traffic.
In addition, costco supermarket products such as croissants and roast chicken have been officially discontinued from the same day. According to the relevant person in charge of the supermarket, this measure is mainly to prevent unnecessary gathering of people in the supermarket. (Xu Yinkang Yuzhan)
