Apple Recloses Eight Stores in Maryland, Missouri, Virginia, and Wisconsin

[MacRumors]

Apple is re-closing eight more retail stores across the United States, in the states of Maryland, Missouri, Virginia, and Wisconsin.

Apple Towson Town, Maryland​

According to Michael Steeber on Twitter, the following stores will be closed from today:

• Leawood (Leawood) – Kansas
• Towson Town Center (Towson) - Maryland
• Country Club Plaza (Kansas City) - Missouri
• MacArthur Center (Norfolk) - Virginia
• Lynnhaven Mall (Virginia Beach) - Virginia
• Bayshore (Glendale) - Wisconsin
• Hilldale (Madison) - Wisconsin
• Mayfair (Wauwatosa) - Wisconsin

Six of the 28 stores in California that have not yet re-closed are also reportedly returning to curbside service. They are Valley Fair and Oakridge in Santa Clara County, North County in San Diego County, Roseville in Place County, Arden Fair in Sacramento County, and Santa Rosa Plaza in Sonoma County.

Steeber notes that all the above California stores are in indoor malls that were forced to close, being located in counties on the state monitoring list.

With coronavirus outbreaks across the United States continuing to spike, Apple has been forced to re-close many retail locations that had previously reopened, with stores in Maryland, Ohio, Tennessee, North Carolina, Florida, and more shuttered at the current time. In these locations, Apple is asking retail employees to work remotely in work from home support roles that the company has been offering since March.

Retail employees are able to serve as support advisors to handle online service requests and questions from customers unable to receive services in store.

It’s not continuing in Wisconsin. We’ve seen through all the global conspiracies of science and medicine in this pandemic, and everything’s back to normal. I don’t know why Apple would close our stores, everything’s finally Great Again, the people are back to shopping and dining and gathering in large crowds, and no one wears a mask or gloves in public whatsoever. Thank the shareholder in chief, it’s a miracle.

I don't understand why bars are open right now. They are kindling for spreading this virus. We need to be smarter about this. Shut down bars and other places where strangers crowd together indoors for long time periods. That's where the majority of reported spread is happening. Then the rest of the economy can open up and we can get closer to normal. The government needs to support bars and other closed businesses during this time, but if the rest of the economy can open up, it will at least have some tax dollars to keep them afloat.

I feel like everyone wants to argue and assign blame, but we're missing he big picture.

When companies are ready to take a loss to their profits by closing, governments really need to start looking at themselves if they're not leading this.

We have curb side service, because the Apple Store is in the mall. Can't complain, order online and it's usually ready for pick up with in an hour 2 hours at most. You can even drive up and ask questions for support if they have enough people on . Yes we distance ourselves, but IMHO Apples doing a great job considering the circumstances.

Texas is just learning that guns don't protect from COVID. Same as Florida.

Take it all in and make your own decision. Slowly state government is opening and we're waiting to see just how long before this takes off and people getting sick. Been working from home for month's, goto the store wear a mask get what I need go home and yes wash my hands. Deal with it or get sick and possibly pass on.

For all the people that think it's a hoax would you goto a hospital and volunteer with OUT protection, how about volunteer at the morgue or where ever there having mass burials and tell the family's of the lost family members it's only a HOAX

Wisconsin is doing quite well. At the moment. California, Florida, Texas, Arizona: They are in real danger that this gets out of control.

People are still flying, airlines are adding flights and packing planes, Disney World is open. I just don’t understand why this virus is spreading

 

[fhopper]

Non issue in Wichita, Apple does not think we justify a store. Close them all.

I live in NYC and I’m just waiting for Cuomo, Murphy, and Lamont to close the tri state area from the rest of this country.

We spent months in quarantine and went through hell being the epicenter back in April. I’ll be damned if I have to go through this all over again because some of the people in this country suck and need to flex their constitutional rights about going out or not wearing a mask.

If it keeps exploding in the rest of the US, they really should. CT reported 20 new cases out of 2,447 tests yesterday, below the 1% threshold. Currently only 66 people are hospitalized.

Apple is just taking responsibility of what they think is best For the safety of employees and customers, because it’s the people around us that refuse to take responsibility for masking and social distancing, forcing Apple to close stores Based on regional data.

If people want to see Apple keep their stores open, then everybody plays a role they need to take responsibility Of practicing Safety measures in there community to make a difference. Unfortunately, it’s the complete opposite right now in some areas.

People have to work too.

Disney just opened 4 days ago...so don’t already start applying blame to that. Disney is also implementjng the recommended CDC measures EXTREMELY well and is running at about 15% capacity. You are safer at Disney than at your local restaurant if you’re worried about testing positive.

I like everything you said except the last part. People do not have a constitutional right to risk others lives. As my 10th grade American History teacher said: "Your rights stop at the tip of my nose."

Empty. Absolutely nothing in it. Except for the police officer.

I think it's already out of control. Lock downs are probably the best route now for the quickest way to reduce spread to a manageable level.

I guess the 6 family members of my wife's student who died was just a hoax?

Damn straight. I live in NY and I don't want you bringing your lack of human decency here! Stay in your states and practice your "freedom" to not care about others.

You don't need to wait for the car wreck before saying it's irresponsible to drink and drive...

What's happening inside the park is only part of the issue. It's also a travel magnet pulling people from all over into the heart of an epicenter and nobody needs that right now.

Think Wisconsin closings are more do to protests than COVID.
