Apple's plan for reopening stores is slowly starting to take shape, and it could be a sign of what shopping will look like after the pandemic

Hand sanitizer and cleaning products are found throughout the stores, and patrons inside must wear masks.Given Apple's vast resources, its reputation as a retail visionary, and the close eye it's kept on the coronavirus since it first emerged in China, the company's actions could provide a look at what's to come when retailers in the United States eventually begin to reopen.

In Apple Stores that are open, the company is asking that patrons maintain social distancing of two meters, wear face coverings while in the store, and consent to temperature checks. Because of the social distancing rules, fewer customers will be able to fit in an Apple Store at a given time, meaning there may sometimes be a wait to get into the store.
