In connection with the ever-expanding coronavirus infection, Apple resorted to a step that it had previously tried in China. In Italy, which is currently the biggest epicenter of the infection, there will be a temporary closure of some official Apple stores.

The Italian mutation of Apple's official website contains new information that the company is closing its Apple Store in the province of Bergamo by the end of this week, based on the order of the Italian government. The Italian Council of Ministers agreed last week that all medium and large shops will be closed this coming weekend to prevent further potential spread of the contagion. This regulation applies to all commercial premises in the provinces of Bergamo, Cremona, Lodi and Piacenza. Other areas should follow.

Apple already closed some of its stores last weekend. It can be expected that they will be closed again. These are Apple il Leone, Apple Fiordaliso and Apple Carosello stores. So, if you happen to be planning a trip to Italy for the weekend, take the above information into account so that there is no possible misunderstanding.

Italy has more and more problems with the coronavirus. Both the number of infected and the number of dead are increasing rapidly, which at the time of writing is 79. While the effects of the virus are gradually decreasing in China (at least according to officially published information), the peak of the epidemic is yet to come in Europe.
