After a year of this thread, I can clearly say that prices are increased but it is yet to be doubled in my region. Governments are increasing tax rates at the time of Pandemic not it is getting added to the actual price of the products and it will increase further when the new normal begins.

We also had this kind of problem on our country. The needs of every people during pandemic are doubled and there's a lot of issues that spreads the all over the local gorvernment. They keep on being blind on other "critical" issues and focusing on other nonsense reports from the media. I can't tell whether this will end nor continue.
When i have time i go to local market to check prices
Vegetable prices doubled
Fruit prices doubled
Meat prices around 30% increase
Grain products around 20% increase
...
And my country is a exporter of food products
How is it in your country ? Same ?
It's the same on our country and everything is getting illogical when our government regulates something especially when "taxes" or "fees" are included.
