Supermarkets are operating normally, promotions are in effect, and goods are being delivered regularly. There is no reason to panic or buy everything up. Let us respect the hard and dedicated work of shop assistants and other people involved in trade. Please, let us get through this difficult and stressful time calmly. All of us.
On Wednesday, 11 March, a rumor began circulating among people about the alleged closure of supermarkets because of the coronavirus. People panicked and began storming the shops. Some called their friends and passed on false information about the closure of grocery stores.
In the first version of the rumor, the shops were supposed to close on Thursday (12 March); later, they were said to stop operating on Monday (16 March). Meanwhile, supermarkets are operating normally, promotions are in effect, and goods are being delivered regularly. There is no reason to panic or buy everything up.
In the photos, you can see what the Tesco supermarket in Bolesławiec looked like on Monday (16 March). Perhaps the most demanding customers will complain that there is not as much choice as there used to be, or that something is missing. We would like to inform you that basic products are available and buying them is not a problem.
There are no shortages of goods in other Bolesławiec shops either. Readers tell us that the shelves are well stocked both at Kaufland and at Carrefour on 10 marca Street. Meanwhile, a large supply of toilet paper, kitchen towels and other hygiene products is available at the Mrówka supermarket on Kościuszki Street.
