The Best Tips For Moving During Coronavirus Pandemic
At the beginning of the year, nobody thought that there would be a deadly pandemic that will
affect everything that we do or know or had planned for ourselves. And since emergencies can
arrive at any time and out of anywhere, much like this pandemic, moving from your home or
moving into a new home during these times can be understood as an emergency.
Even though the best advice in this time would be to postpone your move until after situations
are better, if the circumstances are completely unavoidable, there is an element of safety that you
would need before you move.
This blog is to provide you with necessary information about practical tips that you can follow to
make your move hassle-free and completely safe for you, and the people helping you in your
move as well.
Follow these simple steps, and you will successfully move to your new destination with ease.
Tips To Move During COVID-19
- Carefully Choose Movers and Ask Questions
Of course, the first instinct that we get is to do it all ourselves. However, the best thing to
do in this situation is to hire movers, so you don’t go out into the elements too much, and
can move in one go.
Carefully choose your movers based on the trust and quality of their service. Do not be
afraid to ask them questions about their service; after all, this is a time full of
uncertainties.
Ask them about their disinfection and precautionary measures for their vehicles and
employees. What will they do if their employee tests positive for coronavirus? These
questions are important to you because your life also hangs in the balance. - Keep It Virtual
Usually, moving and movers actually involve a lot of things, like negotiations, the recon
of all the stuff that the moving party has paperwork, and whatnot. The trick is to keep it
all virtual, as much as possible. Get a quote online from the mover, complete the
paperwork online if possible, and help them understand how much stuff they have online
as well. - Clean and Disinfect Everything
As a responsible person, it is also your duty to clean and disinfect everything before you
send it out through the movers. Also, instead of hiring professionals to come and do it
right now, doing it yourself is the best course of action in the current times. Follow the
safety instructions issued by the authorities closely for better disinfection. - Avoid Contact like Handshakes
When you greet your movers, pass them a smile instead of shaking their hands. As the
coronavirus spreads through physical contact, it is wise to avoid handshakes and other
physical contacts. - Maintain Your Distance
While they work in moving your stuff, make sure that they are wearing all the necessary
gear and are following all necessary precautions as per the guidelines of their own
organisation and those issued by the government and authorities.
Apart from that, the only thing that you need to do is maintain your necessary distance. It
is understandable that you may want to lend your hand in the move, but it is better to
realise that these people are professionals and that maintaining your distance is more
important. - Wash Hands
Wash hands right after you touch anything and everything. Apart from that, it will also be
a good move to request your movers to wash and thoroughly disinfect their hands before
they begin their work. Provide them with a separate bathroom than the one your family
uses and clean the accessories right after they have been used. - Disinfect the New Home Before unpacking
Now that your stuff is in the new home, it is the usual protocol that the movers also help
you unpack everything. However, most people choose to unpack on their own. In any
scenario, it is more important to first disinfect the house before unpacking. Also, it would
be a good idea to disinfect your stuff before you unpack as well.
It is one of the most difficult times that we may have seen in recent years, and it needs its own
set of important precaution to follow. If you are planning to move, these tips must be followed.
