Apple is closing to shoppers temporarily all of its stores in the five boroughs of New York because if the rapidly spreading Omicron version of COVID.
. And while Apple requested that customers wear masks only in areas with a mask mandate, two weeks ago it once again demanded that customers wear one at all U.S. stores.
Apple, like other employers in New York, not only has to deal with protecting its customers, it also is running short of able-bodied employees. Speaking of employees, Apple's white-collar workers were supposed to return to their offices in February. However, in a memo written by CEO Tim Cook and sent to Apple employees, the company put the kibosh on that plan and will now wait until the situation regarding the pandemic is more favorable in the states.
With appointments required, the number of people inside a given location could be easily managed to protect those working inside the store from facing potentially contagious consumers. With the number of New York City residents catching COVID at record numbers, the only positive news is that the Omicron variant doesn't appear to as serious as other variants of the virus.
