Supermarket: Many customers buy water, but there is no phenomenon of buying

The owner of the supermarket at the district’s door told reporters that there were more customers coming to buy water today than in the past, but there was no panic buying. What is different from usual is that, due to the suspension of water, mineral water distributors refused to “delivery goods” today, and businesses needed to pull their own goods.
