The tech giant closed its stores in March as the seriousness of the virus and the speed of its spread pushed many governments to order people to shelter in place, forcing businesses to close as well.
Apple has begun opening some stores outside the US, such as in China and Australia, though with social distancing rules in place. The company said in a statement that it plans to open stores in Alabama, Alaska, Idaho and South Carolina. “Our team is constantly monitoring local heath data and government guidance, and as soon as we can safely open our stores, we will,” Apple said in its statement.
Apple said it’s instituting new safety rules for its stores as they reopen. The company said it’ll limit the number of people who can be in a store at the same time. Apple stores tend to attract crowds, and they serve as destinations in many malls. “We recommend, where possible, customers buy online for contactless delivery or in-store pick up,” the company added.
