(ROB MUNRO / iNFOnews.ca) March 11, 2021 - 3:18 PM Everyone remembers 9/11, that day on Sept. 11, 2001 when planes flew into the World Trade Centre in New York, killing close to 3,000 people and starting the War on Terror. But,an equally poignant date that has not yet caught the public imagination is 3/11. That’s March 11, 2020 when the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus – now better known as COVID-19 or just COVID – to be a world pandemic. That was well after the disease first broke out in Wuhan, China in December 2019 – therefore the number 19 in the name – and well after the first case was detected in B.C. on Jan. 25, 2020.

The demand for their talents at creating custom acrylic barriers is more refined since numerous stores are now selling “what they’re viewing as a barrier,” Tracy Spooner, a company sales rep, told iNFOnews.ca. “We’re still producing them,” she said. “We’re probably a little more specialized now – accommodating unusual shapes, curved desks, things like that. We’re probably dealing with more of the higher end situations, like a doctor’s office or chiropractor’s office where they want to make it look long term or part of the original set up.”
