The Apple employees returning to its Silicon Valley headquarters will reportedly will be having the option of getting tested for the coronavirus (COVID-19), CNN reported quoting Bloomberg News.

The company had started bringing back some workers to its Apple Park office in Cupertino, California, last month, offering them nasal-swab tests for the virus and requiring temperature checks and masks.

The other precautions included closed kitchens and a two-person limit in elevators which generally accommodated 10 users. 

The company had closed its offices and retail outlets around the world because of the pandemic but has gradually been reopening them with additional safety measures. 

The operations had resumed at more than 100 stores across the US last month although the vast majority of them were only open for curbside pickup of online orders. The stores allowing customers inside will require masks and temperature checks.
