Due to a resurgence in COVID-19 infections across many U.S. states, Apple announced on July 1 that it has re-closed or is soon closing a total of 77 stores, just weeks after they were reopened. Here's which Apple Stores have re-closed.

Apple first shuttered all of its Apple Store locations in March due to the 2019 Novel Coronavirus. In May, the Cupertino tech giant began to cautiously reopen select Apple Stores across the U.S. with new social distancing, sanitation and mask requirements.

Since mid-June, however, cases of COVID-19 have been on the rise across in more than 20 states. That has prompted some local governments to reverse their original reopening plans and Apple to re-shutter some of the locations that it had reopened since the global health crisis.

Although many Apple Stores remain open, the situation is fluid and likely to change as time goes on.

The list below lists stores re-closed as of July 9.
