Apple is reopening 100 more retail stores in the United States this week that it was forced to close because of the coronavirus, though customers will not be allowed to enter in many of those just yet.
Most of the stores will only offer curbside or storefront services, which means customers can visit for appointments at the Genius Bar or order online and pick up at the stores, the company said Tuesday, reports CNN.
Around 40 stores in different states have announced to allow walk-in customers.
