Although people using public transportation and entering public spaces in Nanjing are, as in most cities, required to wear face masks, the protective gear is hard to come by.
Others have relied on overseas buyers, called dai gou. Tan Chao, a hotel manager in Zhuzhou, a city of 3.9 million in Hunan province, 250 miles south of Wuhan, bought 50 masks from Japan for her employees.
A sign on the locked doors of Huacai Tiandi mall in the Jianye district of southern Nanjing was succinct: “In order to ensure your health, Huacai Tiandi will close all shops from January 30 through February 8, and will return to ordinary operations on February 9.” Grocery stores, fresh fruit markets, pharmacies and some international chains remain open, but there are shortages of fruits and vegetables in the afternoons at some markets.
