The tech giant Apple temporarily shutting some stores in California following a surge in COVID-19 cases in the state.
Apple’s website showed that at least 12 stores were being shut starting Friday and Saturday, including those at Grove, Sherman Oaks and Beverly Center, just a week ahead of peak holiday season.
“We’re temporarily closing soon, but are currently open for pickup of existing online orders, previously scheduled in-store Genius Support appointments,” Apple said.
Some stores will be open for previously reserved one-on-one shopping sessions with a specialist made through Dec. 22, it added.
