You know it’s bad out there when Apple closes its, stores.

In NY, Apple closed its stores due to Omicron cases among its staff — and the contagiousness of the new variant.

Customers can still order online and pick up packages outside retail locations.

Unlike in 2020, when APPLE shuttered all of its locations throughout the US.

“We regularly monitor conditions and we will adjust our health measures to support the well-being of customers and employees,” the company said in a statement Monday. “We remain committed to a comprehensive approach for our teams that combines regular testing with daily health checks, employee and customer masking, deep cleaning and paid sick leave.”
