Nike, Apple close U.S. stores as retail chains weigh coronavirus options
The coronavirus outbreak has begun to affect big retail stores in the country, as two major companies announced this weekend they will close all of their U.S. storefronts for the rest of the month.
"One of those lessons is that the most effective way to minimize risk of the virus’ transmission is to reduce density and maximize social distance," Cook said in a statement. So far, these are the two major retailers to shut down their brick and mortar operations in the U.S. during the outbreak. Several companies have announced plans to reduce their store hours and beef up their sanitizing efforts.Walmart said starting Sunday, all of its stores would operate with reduced hours, from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., until further notice.
