Mr. Cook called the coronavirus outbreak an “unprecedented event” for the company, according to an internal memo obtained by Bloomberg News. The policy impacts corporate offices in “areas with the greatest density of infections,” such as California, Washington State, South Korea, Japan, Italy, Germany, France, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

Mr. Cook also said Apple will continue to pay hourly workers in “alignment with business as usual operations” and continue deep cleanings, Bloomberg News reported.

Apple was one of the first companies to reveal how the coronavirus has affected its business when it announced last month that it was cutting its sales expectations for this quarter. The company, which is highly dependent on Chinese factories and Chinese consumers, said both the supply and demand of its smartphones were hurt by the outbreak.

Apple’s smartphone production was hampered as factories reopened more slowly than expected. The company, which assembles most of its products in China, temporarily closed all 42 of its stores in the country in January.

Egypt reports its first death, a German tourist.

The Egyptian health ministry said that a 60-year-old German tourist died on Sunday in Hurghada, on the Red Sea, after contracting the coronavirus. It is believed to be the country’s first fatality from the outbreak.

The man was traveling from Luxor, one of Egypt’s most popular areas for international tourism, which emerged over the weekend as the only place where the country has identified cases. He was admitted to a hospital on Friday, tested positive for the virus on Saturday and died on Sunday. The authorities said they were sterilizing the hospital and tracking the people the man had contact with.

On Saturday, Egypt confirmed 45 cases on a Nile tour boat in the area, among both crew and passengers. The outbreak has been traced to a Taiwanese-American woman who was on the boat in January, suggesting the many others could have been exposed in the intervening weeks.
