NEW: @Apple has donated 1.9 million masks to the State of New York with more on the way.

We are so grateful to Apple for this much-needed gift of critical PPE supplies.

Thank you. Thank you.

Apple continues to do its part as the world tries to come to terms with the pandemic, closing its stores and offices around the globe – although stores in Greater China have now reopened.

Apple has also added special coronavirus advice to the App Store in an attempt to further inform people how to take care of themselves.
