Apple continues to try to deal with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, reinstating mask mandates for its stores that are open and shutting its doors in several locations.
As first reported recently by Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, Apple has opted to close its retail stores across New York City due to the influx of infections. While shoppers will be turned away and no Genius Bar appointments are being taken for shuttered locations, folks can still pick up online orders.
Apple has closed its major retail stores in New York City, including its Fifth Avenue, Grand Central, SoHo, and World Trade Center locations
