CNBC:

Apple has temporarily shut down all its stores in mainland China through Feb. 9, the company said on Saturday.

The tech giant said in a statement on Saturday: “Our thoughts are with the people most immediately affected by the Coronavirus and with those working around the clock to study and contain it.”

“Out of an abundance of caution and based on the latest advice from leading health experts, we’re closing all our corporate offices, stores and contact centers in mainland China through February 9,” it said.

Hopefully, this is only temporary and short term.
