Apple (Cupertino, Calif.) announced its plans to temporarily close three of its stores due to an increase of Covid cases among its employees, reports The Verge.

The three stores are located in Annapolis, Md., Miami and Ottawa, Ontario. This past Tuesday, Apple also announced its decision to require customers to wear masks inside all of its U.S. stores.

Apple has also reportedly decided to push back the return date for its corporate employees. Originally, employees would work under a hybrid model until February 1, 2022, but now the return date has been changed to “yet to be determined.”
