Drug store Mask sales also limit the number of items Shizuoka January 28 16:37
As pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus spreads in China, drugstores in Shizuoka Prefecture have been restricting the sales of masks, which are growing in sales compared to the previous year, so that many customers can buy them.
At the drugstore in Aoi Ward, Shizuoka City, more and more customers are buying masks later this month.
At the store, some people bought small masks for children.
According to the store, masks are sold three to four times as much as usual in this season, and some products are out of stock.
For this reason, the store has decided to limit the number of masks that can be purchased to 10 per person so that many customers can buy it.
A woman in her thirties said, "I was thinking about taking measures quickly. I was relieved to buy a mask."
Yoshinori Nakano, Manager of Welcia Shizuoka Kutsutani Store, said, "Some products are starting to run out of stock, so we want to keep the stock up so that many people can buy it."
