A Apple tomou a decisão de encerrar algumas das suas lojas em diversas cidades dos EUA devido aos protestos e motins que surgiram na sequência da morte de George Floyd. Agora parece que a empresa está a tomar medidas extra e a barricar as lojas com placas de madeira.

“É a pensar na saúde e segurança das nossas equipas que tomámos a decisão de manter encerradas algumas das nossas lojas nos EUA”, pode ler-se no comunicado da Apple enviado ao Business Insider.

Entretanto têm sido partilhadas nas redes sociais várias fotografias de lojas da Apple já barricadas (abaixo).
