Apple has taken several initiatives to help combat the spread of COVID-19. In addition to closing all its physical stores, it has allocated $ 15 million to help relief efforts.
Our Apple teams have worked to help source supplies for healthcare workers battling COVID-19. We are donating millions of face masks to healthcare professionals in the United States and Europe. To all the heroes on the front line, we thank you.

Additionally, Apple Card users (in countries where it is available) can participate in a program that will allow them to skip the March fare without penalty.
Apple is also known for making a donation to healthcare professionals in Italy.
It has never been more important to support each other. We are making a substantial donation, including medical supplies to the Civil Protection in Italy, to help the heroic rescuers, medical staff and volunteers who work tirelessly to protect and save lives. Close to ❤️

Even Facebook
Facebook announced that it has donated the 750.000 protective face masks it had kept in reserve in case the fires ravaging California make them necessary.
