In an interview with Bloomberg Apple boss Tim Cook has announced that Cupertino is planning to reopen retail stores in Australia and Austria. This should happen in one to two weeks. This involves around 21 Apple stores, 20 of which are in Australia and one in Austria. Cook explained that "only a few" stores in the United States could follow sometime in May. The company wants to review all the data and make appropriate decisions based on location. A reopening cannot simply happen like that.
Company premises will remain closed until early June
Earlier this week, it was announced that Apple's retail chief, Deirdre O'Brien, reopening of some stores in mid-May expected. She told some executives this. However, no locations were mentioned. Apple closed all retail stores outside of Greater China on March 14 until further notice. Only in South Korea did operations resume in mid-April - albeit with restrictions. Cook also noted that the company's premises in Cupertino will remain closed until early June. This measure is related to an ordinance from Santa Clara County. As soon as the offices reopen, Apple plans to carry out temperature checks at the entrance. Masks will also be mandatory. Workstations will also be generously distributed. (Image: Apple)
