Apple is continuing to gradually reopen more of its stores in the US and around the world, with the iPhone maker set to open an additional 25 US stores this week along with 12 in Canada and 10 in Italy. The company is also ready to talk about how that process will unfold, according to a letter Apple senior vice president Deirdre O’Brien posted on the company’s website Sunday which details the safety protocols that will accompany a restart of those stores’ operations.
What that includes, among other things, is a requirement that everyone inside these reopened stores wear a face mask — employees and customers, alike. According to O’Brien’s letter, Apple will provide you with a face covering if you don’t bring your own. “Temperature checks will be conducted at the door, and posted health questions will screen for those with symptoms — like cough or fever — or who have had recent exposure to someone infected with COVID‑19,” O’Brien continues. Additionally, store employees throughout the day will be “conducting enhanced deep cleanings that place special emphasis on all surfaces, display products, and highly trafficked areas.”
