Although the number of places is limited, it also attracts a lot of people to line up, and they are sold out within ten minutes. The owner pointed out that a relative was a mask distributor, and did not want the mask to fall into the pharmacy to make a huge profit, so he cut off the goods first and sold them at a low price.

The owner said on Instagram last night that there will be 50 places for buying masks on a first-come-first-served basis. Each person is limited to two packs. Half an hour before the store opens today, more than 40 people have lined up outside the door, and 70% are young people.
The store opened early and all the masks were sold out within ten minutes. The top students, Chen and Xie, were all Form 6 students. They arrived earlier than 11:00. They said that there were less than ten masks in the house. Now they had to walk. You'll have to face expensive masks in the pharmacy, and you will get out of the street if you wear a mask. "

Relatives are mask distributors, so they buy from relatives
The owner, Eddie, said that a relative is a distributor of masks. He does not want the masks to fall into the hands of the pharmacy and resell them to the public at high prices, especially students without financial means. Therefore, he bought a batch of masks from relatives and sold them at cost to help the citizens.
Eddie believes that Chief Executive Lin Zheng Yue'e's policy is insufficient. "It's always a step slower to do what you want. Slowly, you can wait until the whole world waits for Switzerland to return to Lebanon. In addition, after the New Year, the epidemic can easily spread on a large scale." He is more worried about the elderly. According to the situation, it is believed that young people can easily obtain information on the Internet and know how to take proper sanitation measures, but older citizens may misrepresent rumors and repeat the use of masks, believing that the government must also take responsibility.
