She added: 'Most of the products that we sell at the market don't finish now. Isatou Jambang, also from Kartong, also bewailed the difficulties they are encountering as a result of the covid-19, claiming that they couldn't get their needs and that of their families due to the fact that their oyster business was badly affected by pandemic.
