Matecna: Warehouses stocked up, no need to panic

Logistic and distribution warehouses in Slovakia are fully stocked up with goods - in volumes larger than the usual amount and of the demanded makeup, Minister of Agriculture and RuralDevelopment Gabriela Matecna said following her visit to one of the chain stores' distribution centres in Beckov (Trencin region) on Tuesday. "There are even more goods at the warehouses now than during regular operations. This is because the number of placed orders soars so astronomically high that more material has been in stock than is delivered to stores. The makeup of the goods also means that there's plenty of everything we need. There is absolutely no reason to panic," said Matecna, urging grocery shoppers to wear face masks and maintain physical distance from each other.
