Acrylic is in high demand.

It seems a good material to protect you and those around you.

Plexiglass, acrylic sheets, clear plastic…

Transparent plastic is beginning to be used to protect against coronaviruses in restaurants, on the beach and in hospitals.

In restaurants.

These acrylic dividers have already become common in Rome at pharmacies and markets.

And as a partition between seating areas in public spaces.

Taxi in Rome has the back of the cab now divided from the driver by a full plastic covering.

On the beach.

For cubicles on the beach.

Also Plexiglass is a great surface for making art…painting and drawings.

And artworks on acrylic screens that could be used as beautiful, artful social distancing partitions for a hotel lobby.
