Apple has announced a series of measures it’s taking in response to the spread of the coronavirus, which includes the dramatic step, per CEO Tim Cook, of closing all of its stores outside of Greater China through March 27.
Apple announced that step as part of a multi-pronged effort that also includes moving employees toward remote work arrangements where possible, matching employee donations to support efforts to contain the virus, and more. It follows the iPhone maker’s announcement on Friday that its upcoming annual developers conference, as expected, will switch to an online format this year rather than encouraging reporters and bloggers from the spectrum of the tech industry to gather in one place for the company to show off new software updates for its myriad devices.
