Hanoi fashion shops deserted amid Covid-19 pandemic
Fashion shops in Hanoi are deserted amid the ongoing Covid-19 outbreak in Vietnam.
Quy, a shop owner on Hang Ngang, said, "We used to have a lot of customers from 5 pm to 8 pm. But fewer people go out shopping now. We don't have enough money to hire cashiers or managers for late hours. Only shop houses can maintain businesses during such times, people with rental fees have mostly closed their shops. They have to pay hundreds of millions of VND or a billion of VND in annual rent."
