❗️ Tips for Moving During COVID-19
Amid travel bans, widespread stay-at-home orders and social-distancing mandates, millions have adapted to the changes brought about by COVID-19. Countless events have been rescheduled or canceled, but for a few people — including those who already made plans to move — staying put is simply not an option.
🔹 Minimize contact
If you’re working with a moving company, ask for a virtual quote and see if the company offers fully contactless service.
Take extra sanitary precautions
🔹 Wear masks and gloves. If you’re hiring a moving company, they’ll likely bring similar supplies for their workers, but consider having additional hygiene products available.
🔹 Disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces, paying particular attention to doorknobs and handles.
🔹Place soap and paper towels next to sinks and hand sanitizer by doors.
🔹 Buy new boxes: The coronavirus has been found to live on cardboard for up to 24 hours, so this might not be the time to pick up used moving supplies from stores that are recycling them. You can also use boxes that you already have in your home.
🔹 DIY if possible
Even though most places have designated moving services as “essential” and therefore still able to operate, many smaller companies have reduced hours or have paused business altogether. If you can, try to manage the move on your own.
🔹 Be transparent and flexible
If you or any family members are experiencing coronavirus symptoms, postpone your moving plans. Though rescheduling is a pain, the health and safety of your community come first.
