Apple Stores in Melbourne are closing again as new restrictions take place

Melbourne Apple Stores Reclose

As Melbourne goes back into lockdown due to a huge increase in Covid-19 cases, Apple is reclosing all of its 5 stores.

9to5Mac reports:

“Apple Highpoint in the Melbourne suburb of Maribyrnong was the first store in Australia to reclose on July 2 as the public health situation began to deteriorate. Effective July 9, Apple’s other retail locations in Victoria — Chadstone, Southland, Doncaster, and Fountain Gate — will also reclose. All four stores have been offering reduced pickup and appointment-only Genius Support service since Apple Highpoint closed.

Melbourne’s lockdown is expected to last at least six weeks. All travel outside the home will be prohibited with the exception of essential services like groceries and healthcare. The order goes in effect from 11:59 PM on July 8.”

We hope the situation for our all friends in Melbourne changes soon.
