Australia reopened 21 of its 22 Apple stores Thursday after they were shut for nearly two months, according to a report by 9to5Mac.

Australia reopened the bulk of its Apple stores following openings in other countries such as China, Austria, and South Korea, the report said. The last store in Sydney yet to reopen remains closed for renovations, according to Daily Mail.

US Apple stores remain closed after the company announced March 13 all stores would shut until at least March 27.

As more stores begin to open their doors around the world, openings such as Australia's give a glimpse into what it might look like for US Apple stores to open their doors.
