Apple is temporarily again closing 11 stores in four states again because of “current COVID-19 conditions.”

The closures include all six Arizona stores, two on Florida’s West Coast, two in North Carolina and one in South Carolina, Apple shared with USA TODAY. The four states have experienced spikes in number of coronavirus cases.

“Due to current COVID-19 conditions in some of the communities we serve, we are temporarily closing stores in these areas,” Apple said in a statement. “We take this step with an abundance of caution as we closely monitor the situation and we look forward to having our teams and customers back as soon as possible.”

When Apple started reopening stores in May that were closed since March, the company said in a letter “a store opening in no way means that we won’t take the preventative step of closing it again should local conditions warrant.”
