        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Apple is reportedly offering coronavirus tests to employees at its Bay Area campus as they begin to return to the office after months of working from home.</p><p>In addition to having their temperature taken and being required to wear a mask at One Infinite Loop, Apple workers will have the option to get a nasal swab test as well, <strong>according to Bloomberg</strong>.</p><p>Apple was one of the earliest companies to send its employees home, doing so on March 8. But unlike other Silicon Valley giants like Facebook and Twitter — which have <strong>publicly spoken</strong> about allowing employees to <strong>work remotely permanently</strong> — Apple needs people in the office to work on its hardware products.</p><p>In March it was reported that the <strong>launch of the next iPhones may be delayed</strong>&nbsp;by “practical hurdles” caused by the coronavirus.</p><p>Apple traditionally needs to send engineers back and forth from its offices to its factories in China to finalize designs in the lead-up to the product’s release. But the coronavirus has led Apple to restrict employee travel to hotbeds of the disease, including China.</p><p>The Cupertino, Calif., company <strong>recently announced</strong> that it would be reopening more than 100 of its US retail locations after a months-long closure due to the pandemic.</p><p>Shares of Apple were up 1.7 percent Friday morning, trading at $327.84.</p>]]></content:encoded>
