Apple Store Reopening Timeline: December
Continuing spikes and surging cases continue to cause Apple to open and close countries abiding with government sanctions and best practices to keep customers and staff safe.
This post is the eleventh entry of a multi-entry series covering the Apple Store retail closing and reopening strategy in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This entry recaps the month of December 2020. According to Michael Steeber, at the end of 2020, Apple had 390/509 stores open to some capacity, with five countries (Brazil, Germany, Mexico, Sweden, & Turkey) having all their stores closed, and another two counties (The United Kingdom & The United States) having at least a portion of their retail locations closed.
