Apple to re-close 30 more stores due to coronavirus outbreaks.
The company began a phased reopening of stores in May and, as of mid-June, had reopened 154 of its 271 U.S. stores, and 365 of its 510 stores worldwide. But renewed concerns about the spread of COVID-19 in the U.S., and particularly in California, led them to reverse course.
Apple’s move comes as states and cities across the country are also hitting pause on their reopening plans. On Wednesday, California Governor Gavin Newsom ordered Los Angeles, Sacramento and five other counties to close bars and suspend in-restaurant dining. Apple shares temporarily dropped by about half a percentage point on the news, but rebounded ahead of the market close.
