When the COVID-19 outbreak was declared in China, Apple announceddonsfor “groups” that help people affected by the virus. Today, while the situation is clearly improving in the Middle Kingdom, it is now Europe which is the epicenter of the pandemic. And this week, Tim Cook announced that Apple will make donations to help the country.
“It has never been more important to support each other. We are making a substantial donation, including medical supplies, to Protezione Civile in Italy, to help the heroic first responders, medical staff and volunteers who are working tirelessly to protect and save lives”, wrote the Apple boss on Twitter.
