Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Apple closed all Apple Stores worldwide (except China) in March until further notice. Now there is speculation about when the first locations in this country could reopen their doors - and there is already a date.
While Apple already opened the store in Austria Germany could be next. We have information that Cupertino is planning to reopen Apple Stores on May 11th in Germany. This means that if everything goes according to plan, the German locations will reopen on Monday. However, this is subject to certain conditions that must be met. However, it can be assumed that the reopening will be linked to certain restrictions. Accordingly, the opening hours could be shorter and the focus could be on repairs.
Strict entry controls cannot be ruled out
In Austria, the Apple Store is currently closed on Monday until Friday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. However, there are strict controls at the entrance. This means that masks are required - each customer must bring their own. In addition, security staff take the temperature and only allow small groups into the store so that the safety distance can be maintained. Customers must therefore expect to wait. The focus is on the Genius BarAnyone who wants to shop will have to expect longer waiting times. A similar regulation is also to be expected here. As soon as there is further news on this, we will report on it as usual. (Image: Apple)
