Apple stores in Italy to start re-opening May 19

As noted by MacRumors, the Italian website iSpazio says Apple plans to re-open 10 of its 17 stores in Italy on May 19, excluding locations in the Piedmont and Lombardy regions.

For example, the company’s retail store (pictured) at the Nave de Vero shopping mall in the Venice area will reopen on Tuesday, May 19, with reduced operating hours of 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time and other health and safety measures in place.

Apple’s stores outside of Greater China have been closed since the middle of March. The company says enhanced health and safety measures will be implemented at re-opened sites, such as body temperature checks prior to entry, limits on how many customers can be in the store at once, social distancing, and reduced hours of operation.
