[Explanation] As the situation of China's new coronary pneumonia epidemic gradually improves, the major night markets in Guiyang City, Guizhou City, which have been shut down for more than two months, have resumed business one after another. After the resumption of business, how about the guests' consumption? Are the night market epidemic prevention measures standardized? On the evening of April 14, the reporter visited the two big night markets in Putuo Road and Shaanxi Road in Yunyan District, Guiyang City.
Guiyang Putuo Road Night Market Snack Street officially resumed business at 18:30 on the 14th. The reporter saw the night market block at 20 o'clock. There were not many stalls that resumed work on the first day, and fewer guests came to consume and dine. At the same time, the reporter noticed that whenever there is a guest ordering a meal, they need to go through the stall owner to check the personal health code and measure the body temperature for any abnormalities.
[Same period] Night market stall owner Chai Li
We must do (guests) scan code, disinfectant (disinfection), measure body temperature, white clothes and white hats, do these things needed for diet (safety) to prevent epidemic.
[Commentary] Sister Chai, who has been operating a barbecue stall on Putuo Road for many years after returning to business for many years, is very happy. She said that although the business affected by the epidemic is not as good as before, she is confident in the recovery of the night market.
During the interview that night, the reporter found that from time to time, city management law enforcement officers came to inspect the night market stall owners and customers to strictly operate in accordance with the requirements of epidemic prevention.
[Same period] Geng Haibo, staff of Putuo Road Sub-district Office, Yunyan District, Guiyang
We are from the Putuo Road City Management Department. We supervise all the customers and bosses (Putuo Road Snack Street). One is to take the temperature and the other is to scan the code. Don't worry.
[Commentary] Afterwards, the reporter came to the snack street in Shaanxi Road, Yunyan District, where business was resumed a few days before Putuo Road Snack Street. Similar to the situation of Putuo Road Night Market, Shaanxi Road Night Market is also somewhat deserted. It can be seen that the stalls have reduced the number of dine-in tables according to the requirements of epidemic prevention, but the dining area is incomprehensible.
[Same period] Mr. Xue, the owner of the night market
Before the epidemic, when the business was good, it could be sold for two or three thousand yuan, and now it is only a few hundred yuan, a thousand dollars. Because the epidemic has not been completely eradicated, there are few people who consume, and few people come out to play, which has an impact on business.
[Commentary] In terms of epidemic prevention, the vendors of Shaanxi Road Snack Street are also prepared: Guizhou Health Code, Thermometer, Alcohol, etc. are ready to welcome every guest. Ms. Tan advocate said that the epidemic is not over yet, and there is a psychological burden for guests to come to the night market. As a catering business, she calls on everyone to actively cooperate with the epidemic prevention work and looks forward to the return of the night market in the past.
【Same period】 Ms. Night Market stall advocate
We have to do all the work in place. The country has this document, and it is necessary to have these (epidemic prevention) measures for doing business after the epidemic. This is safe for guests, all of us, and even the entire China. All (People) must actively cooperate.
[Commentary] What is the opinion of Guiyang citizens about the resumption of business at the night market? Journalists also conducted random interviews on the streets.
[Same period] Ms. Fang, a citizen of Guiyang
I used to say that I would n’t let people eat outside at home. I think it ’s unsafe and unhygienic. Now I think it ’s okay, because many times our awareness of epidemic prevention is quite strong.
[Same period] Ms. Yuan, a citizen of Guiyang
Everyone is doing very well now, and they are also paying attention to hygiene. After all, they haven't relaxed their vigilance yet, so it's safer to go home (eat).
