With all the stores, malls and even small scale stores are being shut down, there has been a major scarcity of items. If the situation goes any further, this would lead to an economic crisis which would make it hard for every sector.

The retail industry is exposed to more risk than many other businesses, is being vulnerable from the start of the spread and the temporary shutdown of all the stores had made it even difficult.
