With the Opichron variant causing a surge in COVID-19 infections worldwide, Apple has now decided to close all stores in New York City, including Fifth Avenue, Central Terminal, and flagship stores in the Soho business district. These stores will continue to offer in-store pickup for online orders, but customers will no longer be able to access the purchase. Last week, Apple closed seven stores in Places like Atlanta, Houston and New Hampshire as COVID-19 spread among employees. (Phoenix.com)
