Three Tips for Moving House When Pandemic

 

Moving house might be a normal activity for people every day. But with the Covid-19 pandemic happening, this activity has the potential to pose a risk of viral exposure. For many people who do not have to move during a pandemic it might make more sense to postpone this activity. If moving residence is urgent, you can apply the following tips, as reported by the Forbes page:

 

1. Ensure the safety of moving services during a pandemic

When deciding to move, many people use the services of moving services. During a pandemic, it's a good idea to ensure safety again during the process.
You can ask a few things about the service provider such as a special security area to protect everyone involved.

 

 

2. Provide additional safety equipment

If possible, use methods that can minimize contact between humans. Use gloves and a mask when face to face with others. Don't forget to prepare soap and running water to wash your hands after all activities are finished.

 

 

3. Using cardboard or new plastic

 

Sometimes when deciding to move, many items are stored in used cardboard boxes or plastic. But in a situation like now, it's good you have a new cardboard or plastic to wrap equipment when moving. This is important to reduce the potential exposure to Corona virus due to the use of used wrappers.

 

 

According to the New York Times, the virus can live on the surface of cardboard for up to 24 hours. Therefore the American Moving and Storage Association recommends that people buy new boxes.
