Apple closes New York City stores amid Covid surge but still allows online pickups Apple Inc has closed its major New York City retail stores – including its Fifth Avenue, SoHo, Grand Central and World Trade Center locations – to shoppers because of rising Covid-19 cases. The temporary move also includes stores in Huntington Station and Manhasset. Apple has temporarily closed many stores in recent weeks as it copes with the highly contagious Omicron variant, but it’s trying a different approach with the New York shutdown. The company is still letting customers place orders online and pick them up at the stores. Shoppers won’t be able to enter the store to browse or purchase anything on-site, and technical support from the Genius Bar won’t be available. Apple supplier Foxconn’s India plant closed for 3 more days “We regularly monitor conditions, and we will adjust our health measures to support the well-being of customers and employees,” Apple said Monday in a statement. The company has also temporarily shut its Carnegie Library store in Washington, D.C., and some locations in Ohio, Texas, Georgia and Florida.
