Stay Healthy in Moving out in Pandemic
Moving in the chilly season is never enjoying and funny, henceforth, Covidadds an extra layer of problems in this process. Apart from monitoring the weather reports, you should try to stay safe from seasonal sneezes and coughs. In this trauma of pandemic, a simple and innocent sneeze or cough can make people around you are freaking out of fear. Even it can put you in quarantine. Therefore, you would be in stress while moving out. It would be rather easier for you to hire a moving company and handover the duty of moving out to the professionals.
The moving companies are indeed important, and they already have opened their business again after a long period of lock down. The companies ensure that the professionals they are sending to you are tested, healthy and qualified to work. They follow the best hygiene practices. If there is a single case of covid infection in the company, they will not be able to operate with the full manpower for obvious reasons. To keep the planned moves according to the schedule, the professionals of every team follow the best safety and hygiene tips.
Ask for a Virtual Estimate
Virtual estimates are the norms these days so you can hire a moving company in your budget and plan your schedule with less trips to the company office. They may ask you for a video call for a virtual tour at your home for a clear idea to organize the moving part. This is essential for assessing the moving needs and creating an estimation. You may also have to send measurements of some furniture pieces for better convenience.
The Rules Now
The first thumb rule is wearing a mask without which you or the professionals cannot work or communicate physically. When it is winter there is not much air circulated inside the house, therefore, it is essential to wear a mask. For a warmer season also wear it as virus may not spare you. Once the movers reach your home, make sure to wear WHO approved mask every time.
The very next important rule is hand washing. Use soap and water for doing the same whenever possible. When not, you can use dollops of hand sanitizer or the required amount to cleanse hands and make it germ free.
Stay in a safe distance from the movers. Stay at least six feet away from the people and stay patient. Keep yourself restricted to touch the boxes and the small pieces of furniture. Try to help from the distance as much as possible and let them work peacefully.
House Disinfection
Before moving in and once the moving company is done with their work sanitize the house properly. The virus has a certain longevity on the surfaces, but you must not take risks. If you cannot clean the home before entering, load the home with disinfectants, masks, gloves, and bleach and clean the home.
