The Coronavirus forces Apple to close all its stores and offices in China until February 9

Store in China

Better to be cautious than to regret later. Much is being said about the famous Coronavirus, its spread, consequences, and precautionary measures. Perhaps it is more of an overrated alarm than an actual epidemic.

We are not going to join the tabloid fad of the Coronavirus epidemic. There is already enough talk in all the media at a general level to also discuss the subject in a technological blog like this one. But for us, it is remarkable news that Apple decides to close all its stores and offices in China for nine days, for whatever reason.

Apple has closed its 42 Apple Stores in China and its administrative offices in response to the Coronavirus epidemic, with the company's message of "great caution." For now, the company's schedule is for its retail stores and administrative offices to remain closed until February 9. It may be prolonged depending on the spread of the famous virus.

Apple has issued a statement reporting the news, saying verbatim: “As a precaution and based on the latest advice from leading health experts, We closed all of our corporate offices, stores and contact centers in Mainland China until February 9. "

He adds that they are evaluating the situation day by day and it will return to normal "as soon as possible", leaving the door open to a possible extension of the closure according to the events of the next few days. The Chinese Apple Store website is not affected.

This measure follows after the first one that was taken a couple of days ago and that we comment to close two stores, the Apple Wonder City in Nanjing and Apple Tahoe Plaza in Fuzhou. These two stores are located within two shopping centers that have also decided to close until February 2.
