"Not only half, but this is more, up to 60 percent of sales down after the outbreak was announced," said Agus, one of the culinary sellers at the plastery tourist attractions Monday (05/04/2020)

"It is usually crowded, especially if there is a Sunday or school holiday, at least your business is still smooth, but after the outbreak of this virus, to meet our daily food needs is difficult," he said.
"We hope that the Regional Government of Siak can help us, at least it can reduce our burden in meeting our food needs because it is very difficult for us now," he added.
Meanwhile, according to field observations, a number of places selling various foods and drinks at the Siap plaster tour are indeed still open as usual, but because of the Corona Pandemic virus this place is usually very quiet now, even along the banks of the Siak river there is no one sitting as usual, only a few traders were seen clearing their places of sale.
