Apple doubles donation to fight coronavirus

Apple to offer aid against coronavirus

The coronavirus is being a headache for many companies, not because it is affecting the health of their workers, but because the lack of components are forcing them tostop production. Without going any further, Apple announced a few hours ago that the financial forecasts it had for the first quarter of 2020 will not be fulfilled for this reason.

In the latest email Tim Cook has sent to his employees, he claims that the company has doubled the donation to support efforts to combat the coronavirus outbreak, baptized as COVID-19, and in which he explains the impact it is having on the company.

While most Apple Stores in China remain closed, some have started open limited hoursHowever, the corporate offices and contact center in the country are working at full capacity. Tim claims that they are doing everything they can to get everything back to normal, but it's not easy as many supply chains are still closed or resuming again, but the lack of components does not allow them to do it normally.

This email was sent by Tim to his employees shortly after announcing that nor would meet income forecasts that the company had predicted, due to component supply problems and while the 42 Apple Stores that the Cupertino-based company has throughout the country have been closed.

The online Apple Store is still operational, so sales of Apple products have not been completely paralyzed in the country, although due to circulation restrictions in the countryIt is not an alternative to buy their products, although it is the only way to do it.
