On the morning of May 18, Beijing time, due to the surge in the number of new coronavirus infections in the United States, about 100 Apple stores have implemented the mask order again, and employees must wear masks at work. There are some differences this time. Customers don't have to wear masks when they go to Apple stores, but Apple still recommends customers to wear them.
During the pandemic Apple Arrangements have been adjusted to comply with local regulations. It is not mandatory for Apple stores to wear masks even in March.
In addition to store employees, Apple also requires other employees to wear masks in public areas when returning to the company. At present, Apple employees have to work in the office for two days a week. In the future, it will be adjusted to three days according to the situation, but the adjustment time has been postponed.
