Apple intends to resume operation of 25 branded stores in the US and 12 in Canada, after it closed all in mid-March due to the COVID-19 epidemic. However, employees and customers will have to follow the new requirements.. So, to be in the Apple Store without a mask will be prohibited. Customers who do not have this protection with themselves will be given a mask at the entrance. They also measure the temperature with a non-contact thermometer.. As an added precaution, posters with a list of symptoms of COVID-19 will be placed in stores - those who notice them or have recently contacted patients will be asked to leave. All of these measures are listed in a letter addressed to customers published on the website of the apple company.. The company also promises to thoroughly clean all surfaces that customers interact with..

Since people come to the Apple Store primarily to hold the company's devices in their hands before making a purchase decision, it will be necessary to wipe all the exposed samples almost every minute. For those who want to avoid being in the room with other people and contacting sales consultants, Apple will first start selling the devices contactlessly - the package with the purchase will be delivered to the buyer who placed the order on the street in front of the store.
