He described the decision to partially lift the ban on the opening of shops as &quot;good&quot;, especially as they are on the verge of Eid al-Fitr.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">\n&quot;The prices rose remarkably, as the price of one piece increased by 1,500 Syrian pounds compared to what it was before the lockdown,&quot; Mahmoud added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">\nThe Syrian pound is witnessing a continuous decline in its value against the US dollar, as the exchange rate of one dollar reached 1,295 Syrian pounds on Saturday, while it was 1,175 Syrian pounds before the announcement of the ban. This led to a noticeable rise in the prices of goods, food, and basic necessities.<br \/>\nOn the other hand, some sellers consider the lockdown decision to have been in their favor, as the prices of goods increased, especially as the Eid al-Fitr season will allow them to sell their goods. Some others complain that the goods they ordered have not arrived due to the lockdown.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">\nAbdullah Sofi, a clothing seller, also said that the lockdown was &quot;necessary&quot; in order to fight the epidemic, but at the same time, the lockdown measures affected them negatively because they requested goods which have not arrived due to the closure of the roads.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">\nBut he made it clear that a large part of his winter merchandise remained stored in his shop and its sale will be delayed until next year, and that his loss &quot;will not exceed that,&quot; as the owner of the store who rented it exempted him from paying for two months.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">\n&quot;Some sellers pay rent to the owners of the shops, and they are not exempted from payment. I will work in my shop with more caution, and I will try not to gather with my neighbors from the sellers,&quot; he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Solnar Muhammad Concerns about the spread of the new coronavirus and the subsequent precautionary measures have affected the daily life of the population in northeastern Syria, as markets have closed and commercial activity has been paralyzed in the region since the last third of March.
