“The spread of COVID-19 around the world is affecting us all. At Apple, people come first, and we do what we do with the belief that technology can change lives and we hope it can be a valuable tool at a time like this. Teachers are innovating to keep classes remote. Companies are experimenting with new ways to stay productive. Medical experts can diagnose disease and reach millions with critical updates in the blink of an eye. We are all adapting and responding in our own way, and Apple wants to continue to be a part of helping people and communities to be stronger. But this worldwide effort — protecting the most vulnerable, studying this virus, and caring for the sick — requires all of our care, and all of our participation.”

The CEO also revealed a new coordinate for the company's employees to give full preference to carrying out their jobs remotely. For those who need to be in company buildings, a safe distance must be maintained. Details of the guide were not revealed to the public.
