1. Stable Internet Connection
Due to the need to adapt to at home and online means of communication whether it be for work or school, stable and reliable internet connection is needed for many people. Though many people do have access to the internet, most of the time it can be unreliable and even the wifi plans with high mbps can still be subject to lag or disconnection due to the high volume of users at any given time.
2. Disinfectants and Sanitary Goods
Because of various health protocols that need to be followed at all times, many people would need to use disinfectants and sanitary goods such as alcohol, tissue, wipes, lysol, and other materials that can prevent the spread of the virus. During the onset of the pandemic, many people had the tendency to panic buy large quantities of said products which then led to a high demand for it but not enough supply to go around.
3. Electronic Devices
The need to adapt to online forms of communication also revealed the need for electronic devices such as computers, phones, tablets, and other electronic hardware. Many stores that sell these devices often ran out of stock for various items such as keyboards or mouses that students or adults that work from home would be needing for daily use. The prices of these products also increased because of the demand caused by the pandemic.
