        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Apple will open another 100 retail stores in the United States this week, though most won&#8217;t let customers inside.</p><p>The iPhone-maker will reopen stores across 21 states including New York, California and Texas <strong>according to Bloomberg</strong>.</p><p>The reopening locations will largely focus on repairing products and troubleshooting issues at Genius bar appointments, as well as preparing items for pick-up rather than making in-store sales. Apple has launched a number of products via press release over the past few months which it has sold on its website.</p><p>The reopened stores require temperature checks for employees and customers and will limit the number of people in the store at any one time.</p><p>Apple first closed its stores for two weeks on March 4, before extending the closure &#8220;indefinitely&#8221; on March 17. It <strong>began reopening locations</strong> earlier this month, beginning with six stores in Alabama, Alaska, South Carolina and Idaho.</p><p>“Our new social distance protocol allows for a limited number of visitors in the store at one time so there may be a delay for walk-in customers,” the company said at the time. “We recommend, where possible, customers buy online for contactless delivery or in-store pick up.”</p><p>CEO Tim Cook declined last month to provide an outlook for the June quarter, citing business uncertainty created by the virus. First-quarter sales in China, reflecting that country’s store closings and lockdown, were $9.46 billion, about $1 billion less than for the same period a year earlier.</p><p>Apple has 510 stores worldwide and 271 in the United States.</p><p>All Apple retail employees have continued to receive regular paychecks during the duration of the closures, Apple told The Post.</p>]]></content:encoded>
