Take action against local shops inflating prices on goods because of covid 19
Crack down in shops that are purposely inflating prices due to covid 19 isolation. Raising and purposely inflating prices where people are not being able to work etc can cause hardship. The government has to do something
Naming and shaming won’t help during this crisis, society as a singular must be able to sustain themselves. Shops raising prices by 500/600 percent does not help the poor and the vulnerable nor does it help socially. As a country we should be stood as one to combat this but it seems that people are taking advantage of the poor for financial gain during this crisis. Fines should be introduced as well as a hotline allowing people to report this despicable behaviour.
