Global demand for clear plastic barriers has quadrupled since the new coronavirus began spreading, and now there's a six-month waiting list for new orders. It's revived what had become an unprofitable industry.

The crush of orders began in March, after the World Health Organization labeled the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic and recommended using glass or plastic barriers to reduce exposure to COVID-19.
