Hubei strict investigation mask prices

The newspaper (Reporter Gong Ping correspondent Shen Jia) The fog and haze weather in the city the day before yesterday caused some pharmacies to appear out of stock. Regarding the unexpected situation in this market, the Provincial Price Bureau joined forces with the Urban Price Bureau in the afternoon to conduct inspections on the supply and sales of masks, activated carbon, and air cleaners and other protective products for nearly 60 hospitals, pharmacies, and supermarkets in our city. . In view of the fact that a small number of pharmacies have taken the opportunity to increase their prices, the price department promptly stopped them and ordered them to return to the level before the price increase.

Hospital and most drugstore masks prices are stable, and there are a few pharmacies taking advantage of the opportunity to increase prices. Taking 10 disposable masks as an example, a pharmacy in Fruit Lake rose from 5 yuan to 10 yuan; a pharmacy on Donghu West Road and a large pharmacy on Zisha Road rose from 5 yuan to 6 yuan per pack. The sales of supermarkets such as activated carbon and air cleaners remained basically the same.

The provincial and municipal price departments jointly adopted emergency measures to require supermarkets and pharmacies not to use any form of excuses to increase their prices; they are required to actively apply to the headquarters for an increase in the allocation of supplies to ensure the supply of goods in Wuhan City.

The Provincial Price Bureau reminded that if there are such protective equipment as masks, activated carbon and air cleaners in hospitals, pharmacies, supermarkets, etc., that are responsible for reluctant selling, price increases, collusion, price increases, and other price violations, they can call the 12358 to report to the price authority. .
