Apple has begun slowly opening its U.S. retail locations.
The company has implemented a series of guidelines to protect customers from the Coronavirus pandemic.
First, Apple has begun requiring face coverings “for all of our teams and customers,” which will be provided if needed. The company will also offer temperature checks that will be conducted at the entrance as well as “posted health questions will screen for those with symptoms—like cough or fever—or who have had recent exposure to someone infected with COVID‑19.”
Customers will also be required to follow social distancing guidelines, meaning there will be limited occupancy throughout the locations. The company will adhere to strict “one‑on‑one, personalized service at the Genius Bar and throughout the store.”
Apple will also be expanding its store pick-up options to include curb-side pick-up and drop off. Finally, Apple will be “conducting enhanced deep cleanings that place special emphasis on all surfaces, display products, and highly trafficked areas.”
