Apple temporarily closes all stores in UK as coronavirus cases surge

Apple has temporarily shut down all retail stores in the UK as Covid-19 pandemic continues to peak in the country.

Apple has been shutting down several stores and temporarily closed every single location in California, Mexico, Brazil and over a dozen in London.

The tech giant has now temporarily closed its remaining 18 retail stores in the UK following a new round of tough lockdowns in England and Scotland.

“All 18 UK Apple Stores open today will close from January 5. Includes every location in Scotland. Most of the other 20 stores closed just before the holidays,” Michael Steeber, Apple Retail, Design, History, and Tech, said in a tweet on Tuesday.

Apple operates 38 stores in the UK, 20 of which had already closed between December 22.
