Sources warn that if the current economic conditions continue beyond April and governments do not quickly find solutions to restore trade flows, consequences will be widespread. Supermarkets are already seeing some shortages of imported goods, but they are limited. Industry officials say that supplies on basic goods are considered to be at satisfactory levels and that there is no reason for consumers to feel concerned about supply levels.

Transport Ministry officials said on Thursday that the government is making every effort to keep logistics providers and storage companies running and operating, along with their vehicles.The ministry has issued instructions to companies in the industry saying that "it is our patriotic duty to keep the supply chain open at all costs."
