Apple said it announced over the weekend that it would gradually open its stores in four states in the United States after it closed following the spread of the Corona virus. Some of the new guidelines: Employees will wear masks, a limited number of customers will be able to stay in the store at any moment, and heat checks will be done at the entrance.

"We are excited to begin the reopening of stores in the US, starting with several stores in Idaho, South Carolina, Alabama and Alaska," the company said in a statement to CNBC. "Our team is constantly monitoring morbidity and government data, and as soon as we can safely open all our stores, we will," they added.

Apple has only six stores in those states, and the company has not confirmed that all are expected to open. In addition, according to the report, the main business of the branches that will open will be to repair products.

In recent weeks, the tech giant has reopened in several other locations around the world - such as South Korea, Australia, Austria and Germany. Meanwhile, despite the restrictions and social remoteness, the company reported a slight increase in total revenue in the quarter ended last March.
