Shoppers stood on chairs on Wednesday to get a glimpse of the goods on sale on the other side, shouting down to vendors to check on prices, and then used payment apps on their mobile phones rather than risk grubby cash, to pick up groceries."It's safer for us to sell behind these barricades," the owner of a pork stall said.
Residents pay for groceries by standing on chairs to peer over barriers set up to ring fence a wet market on a street in Wuhan on Apr 1, 2020. White-board signs hung up on the barriers told shoppers what was for sale on the other side. Most listed vegetables, rice, oil and meat but one promised crayfish, a local delicacy.
Some supermarkets also reopened on Wednesday, with one attracting a long line of shoppers - everyone spaced 1.5m apart - that snaked around blocks. Some people wore raincoats or shower caps to ward off the virus. All wore masks and all seemed happy to finish with online shopping and delivered supplies."It wasn't fresh," said one 68-year-old man who gave his surname as Dong as he stood in the queue, referring to the groceries dropped off at his home by volunteers during the lockdown."They didn't look good, didn't taste nice.
