Cook said the firm had learned from steps taken in China, where the tech giant has just reopened its retail stores.
"One of those lessons is that the most effective way to minimize risk of the virus's transmission is to reduce density and maximize social distance," he said in a statement Friday.
"As rates of new infections continue to grow in other places, we're taking additional steps to protect our team members and customers."
