Since the Indonesian government announced that two of its citizens were positive 19, the awareness of the public not to become infected has increased. Currently in various regions, more and more people are using masks when going out or doing activities outside the home. Including kindergarten students in Padang City, West Sumatra Province.
As a form of vigilance, his parents put on a mask to use when at school.
However, due to the large number of residents hunting for masks, the price of masks also jumped dramatically. Currently the price of a box of ordinary type masks, has reached 250 thousand rupiah. Even though during normal conditions, the price is only 30 thousand rupiah.
This price increase was also triggered by the scarcity of masks on the market.
