COVID-19 pandemic casts shadow over gold business in Surat ANI | Updated: Apr 10, 2021 13:57 IST
Surat (Gujarat) [India], April 10 (ANI): The resurgence of COVID-19 has hit the gold jewellery business in Surat. Jewellers said the business is in the fall for the last four days after an increase in the number of COVID-19 cases in the country has been reported.
Deepak, a jeweller said, Business was going well. But now Corona has resurged and there are talks of lockdown again, so customers are apprehensive. They used to keep some savings as spare, but during the lockdown, they have put a brake to buying gold using their savings. For the last 4 to 5 days, the business has plunged. PM Modi has said that there will not be another lockdown but only night curfews. So I hope that business will get back on track soon, he added.
