We are experiencing a very intense beginning of the year in terms of international news, and it is all because of one thing: Coronavirus. A mysterious virus that originated in China and is spreading throughout the world with an unknown never seen before. Quarantines, event cancellations ... the virus is affecting the world to the extent that even the next Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games are in danger. Apple has also wanted to be cautious and has even closed stores and offices in China, a closure that seems to hold much longer than expected ...
And is that normality was expected to return to Apple China next Monday, February 10, but it seems that the precaution will last a few more days, and it is that They have set themselves not to open before February 13, although most began on Saturday, February 15. This is what they have said from Cupertino to the guys at Bloomberg:
The entire Apple family is committed to helping our colleagues, communities, suppliers, partners and customers in China, ”said Apple. As we gradually return to work, our first priority is the well-being of our teams, supplier partners and customers throughout China. Our thoughts continue with those affected by the coronavirus and those who work around the clock to treat, study and contain its spread.
Extraordinary measures in an extraordinary situation. And it is that in the end the most important thing is the safety of the people and that the virus is eradicated or a vaccine is found for it. We will see if this is not expanded again before the news that arrives the first days of next week, but the truth is that the situation is so complicated that even in events such as the Mobile World Congress, more and more companies are declining their invitation to avoid the risk of contagion.
