In the context of Ho Chi Minh City partially reopening, loosening the distance from October 1, the City's Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control stipulates that supermarkets and trade centers must ensure control people density. Specifically, the minimum required density is 4m2/person based on the business area and keeping a minimum distance of 2m between two adjacent people.
At MM Mega Market, a machine has been put into the system to control the number of customers shopping at the same time. This system is operated by artificial intelligence (AI) technology, which can distinguish customers and employees through identification of supermarket uniforms.
The cameras installed at the entrance/exit connect to the central server system to analyze the actual number of people shopping and send warnings to the Management Board if the limit is exceeded. Customers also know the volume of shoppers through the live display at the entrance. People need to wait in line outside if the number inside has exceeded the allowable density threshold. When someone comes out, customers can wait in line to fill the gap.
Similarly, AEON Tan Phu Supermarket also uses the system to count the number of people in / out to calculate the flow of visitors in accordance with the prescribed area, limited to 50 customers / shopping time. Guests will be arranged waiting area, queuing. All employees who come into direct contact with customers are granted a "Covid Green Card" and are equipped with masks, gloves, and drop-glasses, and perform periodic testing. AEON Vietnam said that it is ready to serve people directly from October 1 in the "new normal" state.
On the side of Masan, enterprises also promote investment in automation of production lines to reduce dependence on new recruits. The implemented solutions help businesses reduce the number of new hires by 10%, and at the same time supply products to the market, especially in the peak months at the end of the year.

Thu Duc city will have plans to reopen the traditional market on the basis of the newly issued Directive of the city. A representative of the City Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control affirmed that the market must ensure safety to be allowed to reopen. From the above information, it can be seen that the pressure on the modern distribution system from October 1 will increase significantly when people have been "relaxed" in going out to shop while the system is more efficient 200 traditional markets in the city.
