Apple has closed eight of its locations temporarily as it manages the spike in new cases. According to Bloomberg, Apple will close a real location if 10% of its employees have tested positive for COVID-19.
The following locations in Canada and US have been closed since Tuesday this week:
- Dadeland in Miami

- Cumberland Mall in Atlanta
