Spend over NT$490 and Register to Win Sony Clip-on Earphones, Pi Wallet Offers up to 12.6% Cashback
The recent frequent temperature changes, coupled with increased cluster contact in schools after the start of the semester, have simultaneously raised the risk of transmission for influenza and enterovirus. According to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the number of outpatient and emergency visits for flu-like illnesses in the 9th week reached 82,187 nationwide. PChome 24h Shopping points out that in addition to purchasing household disinfection and cleaning supplies, the keyword “air purifier” has seen a particularly notable surge in search volume, soaring 5 times compared to the same period last month (3/4-3/10). Furthermore, “wet wipes” sales increased by 63% week-over-week, indicating that consumers are not only focusing on basic cleaning and disinfection during seasonal transitions but are also paying extra attention to respiratory health and disease prevention. PChome 24h Shopping categorizes spring protection into two trends: “Spatial Environment,” which includes home anti-allergy air purifiers and dehumidifiers—a necessity during the unpredictable spring rains; and “Immediate Defense,” the cleaning frontline featuring antibacterial wet wipes commonly carried in children’s school bags and hand sanitizers with good antibacterial efficacy. PChome 24h Shopping offers the “PChome Ultra-Fast Delivery” (PChome 超速配) service to consumers in the Taipei-New Taipei-Taoyuan area, allowing for “ordering late at night and picking up early in the morning” at designated stores for ultra-fast convenience.
