Due to the severity of the epidemic, the entrances of many communities are locked. Now, the goods are placed in front of the entrance, waiting to be picked up. Staff members measure the temperature of each visitor.

Some fresh produce distributors have ramped up scheduled minivan support to provide daily necessities outside the community entrance. To avoid close people-to - people contact, delivering to the customer's door is prohibited.
