Apple Inc. said it’s closing seven stores in Houston because of a recent spike in Covid-19 cases, bringing the number of locations that have been shut after reopening to 18.
The iPhone maker said Wednesday it was taking the action out of an “abundance of caution.” The company last week closed 11 stores across Florida, Arizona, North Carolina and South Carolina that had been reopened earlier. Despite the renewed closures, Apple has reopened the majority of its 271 U.S. stores.
