This Week in the Copier Industry Five Years Ago

It's getting crazy here in NJ with the Delta variant in N.J. Today our Governor has ordered that K-12 schools (students and staff) will be required to wear masks at the start of the school season. In addition he has recommended that all citizens wear masks again when indoors (vaccinated or not).

Also heard that many larger financial firms in NYC have now delayed a full return to the office until 2022
