Apple's retail stores are currently closed until further notice, according to the company's website.

The move comes after Apple previously said it would keep all retail stores outside of Greater China closed until March 27 as part of an effort to keep staff and customers safe during the coronavirus outbreak.

Apple is closing its stores as the coronavirus continues to spread across the United States and other areas of the world, with nearly 7,500 deaths and more than 189,000 infections.

It's one of several measure the Cupertino, California-based tech giant has made to combat the spreading coronavirus. It previously moved its global corporate workforce to remote work arrangements and implemented deep cleanings and other protocols in its retail stores before closing them.
