        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Going against its tech industry peers, Apple is set to bring workers back to its global offices soon.</p><p>The California-based technology company will bring employees back in phases over a few months, according to a report.</p><p>The first phase has begun at some of the company&#8217;s locations worldwide and will expand to its major offices in late May and early June, Apple has told staffers, <strong>Bloomberg reported Tuesday.</strong></p><p>The company&#8217;s second phase of reopening won&#8217;t begin until July, according to the report. Apple maintains offices in Cupertino, Calif., where its spaceship-like headquarters is located, as well as in Los Angeles and San Diego; Austin, Texas, and Boulder, Colo.</p><p>The return-to-work timelines are fluid and may change, particularly given local and state stay-at-home orders, said Bloomberg&#8217;s sources, who asked not to be identified when discussing internal company matters.</p><p>The return sets CEO Tim Cook&#8217;s company apart from its Silicon Valley peers. <strong>Google</strong> and Facebook have both said their employees won&#8217;t be returning in any significant way until the fall or early 2021 &#8212; and Twitter has said many of its employees may <strong>work from home indefinitely.</strong></p><p>As of Wednesday afternoon, there were at least 1.3 million infections and 83,249 deaths from coronavirus in the United States.</p>]]></content:encoded>
