Before Cook’s letter, the company on Friday declared store closures around Spain and a single U.S. place in Pennsylvania.

Most recently, Apple on Friday declared this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference is going to be held entirely online as a result of continuing COVID-19 concerns.

Apple announced its annual developers conference held June will change online amid the dispersing coronavirus pandemic.

In a statement published Friday, Apple claims its 2020 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) will comprise an”entirely new online format” together with advice for programmers and clients possessing Apple products.

“We are delivering WWDC 2020 this June in an innovative way to millions of developers around the world, bringing the entire developer community together with a new experience,” said Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. In addtion, he said, “The current health situation has required that we create a new WWDC 2020 format that delivers a full program with an online keynote and sessions, offering a great learning experience for our entire developer community, all around the world. We will be sharing all of the details in the weeks ahead.”

“With all of the new products and technologies we’ve been working on, WWDC 2020 is going to be big,” said Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of Software Engineering. “I look forward to our developers getting their hands on the new code and interacting in entirely new ways with the Apple engineers building the technologies and frameworks that will shape the future across all Apple platforms.”

The technology giant said it is donating $1 million into San Jose, California, organizations to offset the earnings lost by transferring its summit exclusively online.

Apple is the latest technology giant to change its plans due to the coronavirus. Facebook and Google canceled their programmers conferences this season, offering online choices. Businesses including Amazon asked that workers operate from home as public health authorities attempt to stem the spread of this virus.

There is speculation that WWDC 2020 would accompany other significant events and also be canceled as a result of the continuing coronavirus crisis and also the fact Apple has managed to turn into a positive experience ought to be a learning experience for a number of different businesses, which will probably have to think about canceling similar events since the epidemic persists.

The Italian shutdown marks the second major closing of Apple’s retail stores as a result of virus – the company had formerly closed all of its stores in China last month, although as of this week, all four of those Chinese shops have reopened.
