Developers invited to participate in the WWDC viewing event held at Apple park headquarters in Cupertino, California, on June 6 need to abide by the more stringent covid-19 epidemic prevention rules recently implemented by apple In an email sent today, apple informed developers that they need to wear N95 masks indoors and that they need to undergo an FDA approved covid-19 antigen test the day before, and the result must be negative.
Participants need to upload their test results to Apple park's portal before they arrive.
This is a newly updated guideline, which reflects the increasing number of covid-19 cases in California and other states due to the latest variant. The previous epidemic prevention policy is that developers need to test three days before the event. Whether to wear a mask is optional, but this wording will be deleted.
There is some speculation that Apple may cancel the event if the epidemic worsens over time. The company recently postponed its plan to let enterprise employees work in the office three days a week with the increasing number of covid-19 cases.
Participants said Apple must comply with the latest health and safety agreements on its website. Apple assured developers that it would provide disinfectant hand sanitizers and disinfect the surfaces of public places and crowded areas regularly throughout the event.
