Apple Closes All California Stores Due to Spike in COVID-19 Cases
Amid a spike in COVID-19 cases in California, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) announced on Saturday that it was closing all of its stores in the state. And as a new strain of the coronavirus sprouted up in London, it said it would close its stores in the greater London area as well.
Apple operates 53 retail locations in California and has over a dozen in London. It's the second major closure of its stores in the U.S. since Apple shuttered all its stores globally earlier this year in response to the pandemic.
Although the tech giant's online stores will remain accessible, the closures are ill-timed as consumers race to do last-minute Christmas shopping.
