Apple announced on Friday that it is planning to temporarily close several of its locations in four states as the number of coronavirus cases in some US states are surging.
Apple said that two stores in Florida, two in North Carolina, one in South Carolina and six in Arizona will be closed until further notice. The closures go into effect tomorrow.
