Apple closed its eleven stores in Spain as the decision progressed shortly after closing all physical Apple Stores outside of China.
In a letter to customers communicating the closure, Tim Cook says China has shown that the most effective way to minimize the risk of coronavirus transmission is to reduce the density of people and maximize the distance between people, so they decided. to close the shops.
Let's translate Tim Cook's letter
As of today, all Apple stores in mainland China have reopened.
I also want to thank our operations team and partners for their considerable effort in restoring the supply chain. What we have learned together has helped us develop best practices that are helping us tremendously in our global response.
One of these lessons is that the most effective way to minimize the risk of virus transmission is to reduce the density [of people] and increase the distance of social interaction. As rates of new infections continue to rise elsewhere, we are making further decisions to protect our computers and customers.
This is why all Apple Stores outside of Mainland China will close until March 27 [March 13th].
