This situation requires Apple to limit the number of valid customers in the store at one time. And in this case it is included reducing hours from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. local time. To strengthen the measure, Apple provided its retail stores, authorized service providers and operating partners with an effective cleaning guide recommending that Apple's display products be cleaned at least twice a day by specialized tissues.
While the situation is normal, there is still a lot of uncertainty about coronavirus outbreaks, especially in its production, which resulted in higher shipping costs for other Apple products and could affect the company's earnings this quarter.
Apple is there for more 40 stores in China, representing less than 10% of its global retail stores. This clear panorama was key for Apple to put these steps in step by step making its economic activity in the country.
