`Two days ago, passing by the store, I saw an announcement that today at 7:30 a.m. they would sell 1,000 boxes of masks and hand sanitizer, so I went home and told my family to come buy it. Luckily, I lined up early so I was able to buy it, but it would have been later.
Hundreds of people lined up overnight to wait to buy masks.
Medical equipment store on To Hien Thanh Street, Ward 15, District 10 belongs to the City Pharmaceutical and Medical Equipment Trading Center.
Nearly 5:00 a.m., when Ms. Nguyen Thi Mai, 56 years old, in District 12 arrived at the place where she was planning to line up, she saw security guards closing the gate and hundreds of people standing inside.
A woman standing in line said that many people came at 2 a.m. to get their numbers, but she still tried to line up outside the gate for luck.
At 8:00 a.m., Mrs. Suong (center) and her niece bought 2 masks and left.
Holding two boxes of masks and bottles of hand sanitizer, Ms. Linh (56 years old), Tan Phu district, turned out with joy.
At 7:30, Mr. Minh (73 years old) was in front of the company gate and saw many people leaving the store.
Near 8:00 a.m., company employees continuously used loudspeakers to announce that the number of masks had been sold out, asking those who had not been given numbers to go back and wait for notification of the next sale.
