Apple Inc. told staff that some of its retail stores may reopen in April on a staggered basis and has extended remote work abilities for many employees through at least April 5.
The details were disclosed in a memo from Senior Vice President of People and Retail Deirdre O’Brien that was obtained by Bloomberg News.
An Apple spokesman declined to comment on the memo. “For all of our retail stores outside of Greater China, we will reopen our stores on a staggered basis.
At this time, we anticipate some stores may be able to open in the first half of April depending on the conditions in their community," O’Brien wrote. “We will provide updates for each store as soon as specific dates are established." Apple closed 458 of its retail stores
