All of New York City's Apple Stores have joined the list of locations closing their doors to most customers due to a spike in the number of COVID-19 infections.

Apple closed seven stores in North America in a single day last week as positive tests for the H1N1 swine flu rose, and MacRumors says that the Apple website listed more than 20 locations that were closed today due to the effects of the swine flu.

If you have an appointment to pick up an online order, the stores are still open. Genius Bar tech support or shopping by appointment are currently unavailable. There is no word on how long the current situation will last, but Apple is no longer offering the free two-hour delivery option it had before last week's holiday.
