    Apple temporarily closes an additional seven retail locations following confirmation of Covid-19 infections among employees

    An additional seven Apple Store retail locations have temporarily closed due to the confirmation of Covid-19 cases among employees.

    Seven Apple Stores have temporarily closed due to increasing Covid-19 cases among employees.

    The following locations are currently closed:
    • Dadeland in Maiami, Florida
    • The Gardens Mall in Palm Beach, Florida
    • Lenox Square in Atlanta, Georgia
    • Highland Village in Houston, Texas
    • Summit Mall in Akron, Ohio
    • Pheasant Lane in Nashua, New Hampshire
    • Sainte-Catherine in Montreal, Quebec

    Apple typically closes a store when 10 percent of staff members test positive for Covid-19.

    A week prior, Apple temporarily shuttered three of its locations in the U.S. and Canada.

    As of December 14, Apple reinstated its mask requirement for customers visiting an Apple Store in the United States, and several locations have limited the number of customers that can be in a store at a single time.

    Since reopening all of its Apple Store locations earlier in 2021, the company has yet to close its entire retail operations. Instead, Apple shutters individual stores on a case-by-case basis.

    Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.

    Apple has offered the following statement regarding the closures:

    Due to current COVID-19 conditions in some of the communities we serve, we are temporarily closing stores in these areas. We take this step with an abundance of caution as we closely monitor the situation and we look forward to having our teams and customers back as soon as possible. For help with an Apple product, more ways to shop, or additional information on our stores, please visit http://apple.com/retail.

    If your local Apple Store is still open, we’d highly suggest shopping with the Apple Store Online for the remainder of the year and choosing no-contact home delivery instead of Apple Pickup. If possible, use Apple Support online or the Apple Support app instead of making a Genius Bar appointment. At locations with in-store service, you may still need an appointment to shop. Many stores are functioning essentially as “appointment only” locations.

    Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
