According to provincial Department of Market Management, this force encouraged 1,438 organizations and individuals in the medical equipment business to sign commitments not to take advantage of the epidemic to offer unreasonable prices, to list prices clearly in order not to confuse customers, to fix prices of goods and services in the location as prescribed by laws.
According to Market Management authorities, the current difficulties in preventing acts of taking advantage of the epidemic to increase prices unreasonably in pharmacies, manufacturers, medical equipment suppliers and distributors come from inadequate legal documents. There have been no legal documents that specify how much the price rises is excessive, therefore it is necessary to have specific written instructions on the rate of price increase at that time compared to the time before, and amend the law on handling of administrative violations accordingly.
