Apple to shut its stores in France amid fresh Covid-induced lockdown

As France enters its third Covid-19 lockdown phase, Apple has decided to shut down its stores in the country.

While Apple Stores have been generally returning to normal worldwide, Apple has now shut all 20 stores in France, AppleInsider reported on Friday.

“We will soon close temporarily,” said a notice on the Apple Opera Paris’s site (in translation).

“For the moment, we are open for the collection of current online orders, and assistance at the Genius Bar for appointments already scheduled before Saturday, April 3,” it added.

According to MacGeneration, the closure is until further notice. This closure includes ones in French city centers, which had previously been able to continue operating in January’s lockdown.
