It’s two steps forward and one step back during a pandemic.
Apple has announced that it will be reclosing 14 of its Florida retail locations on Friday, June 26 due to a recent resurgence of COVID-19 in the state.
The company began reopening select U.S. Apple Store retail locations throughout May with applicable social distancing and hygiene measures. Apple had shuttered of its U.S. retail locations due to the pandemic in March.
Apple’s shuttering of the Florida locations comes on the heels of similar closures in Texas on Wednesday. The week before, Apple re-closed two locations in Florida, as well as nine more in South Carolina, North Carolina and Arizona.
“Due to current Covid-19 conditions in some of the communities we serve, we are temporarily closing stores in these areas. We take this step with an abundance of caution as we closely monitor the situation and we look forward to having our teams and customers back as soon as possible,” Apple said in a previous statement about the closures.
The following Florida-based Apple Store locations will be shuttered for the time being:
- Altamonte in Altamonte Springs, Florida
- Aventura in Aventura, Florida
- Boca Raton in Boca Raton, Florida
- Brandon in Brandon, Florida
- The Galleria in Fort Lauderdale, Florida
