The closing currently lasts from March 6 to March 8, though it would likely be extended if infection and death rates continue to rise. Anyone who plans on visiting Apple Oriocenter is advised to either call ahead or visit the store's retail site.

Additionally, all "Today at Apple" sessions in Italy have been cancelled for the time being.

Apple Stores across mainland China, such as Beijing's Apple Mall China, are also still seeing reduced hours in the aftermath of the outbreak.

The 2019 Novel Coronavirus, or COVID-19, continues to spread in more regions worldwide, with nearly 100,000 cases globally. Italy has been hit especially hard by the virus. Global health officials report that Italy has over 3,800 cases of COVID-19, including nearly 150 deaths.

COVID-19 may put Apple's WWDC in jeopardy as well. The County of Santa Clara on Thursday issued guidance in the wake of newly discovered COVID-19 cases, urging employers in the region, including tech giants Apple and Google, to postpone or cancel mass gatherings.
