How to shift during the Coronavirus Pandemic?

Packing and moving during the Covid-19 pandemic is a challenging task. You have to monitor the workers keeping in mind your own safety against the infection. Following are some of the key takeaways.

  1. Check that your new area is safe: Before you plan to shift, ensure that the locality you are moving into is not too close to a containment zone because that can put your health at risk. The more densely populated area has a higher potency to spread the infection. You may suspend your shifting until the vaccination if your new locality is densely populated and have Covid-19 patients.
  2. Choose your packer and mover carefully: Before hiring a packer and mover, confirm that they are strictly following the protocols. More importantly, get assured the none of the active workers is diagnosed with the Covid-19 virus.
  3. Choose to have an online meeting: Rather than visiting the office, have a phone call or an online chat with the manager to avoid getting exposed to packed environments for too long. Also, demand the manager to send you the terms and conditions and the cancellation policy via email. While making any payment, use internet banking rather than cash.
  4. During the moving day, keep your mask on and maintain at least six feet distance from the workforce. In case you get in contact with anyone or the packages brought by the workers, use a hand sanitizer.
  5. During your travel, keep sanitizing your hands as well as those of your family. Keep your food and water with yourself and aloof from the packed boxes. Wash your hands thoroughly before eating and drinking.
  6. Once you reach your destination, disinfect your new house once the workers leave after unloading the boxes. You may also call the local authorities. They will thoroughly disinfect your home, leaving nil chances of infection. Sanitize the items inside the boxes and dispose of all the packaging material into a closed public dustbin.
  7. Throughout the process, if you find anyone developing acute symptoms related to Covid-19, immediately inform the nearest Covid-19 center for the check-up.

There’s hardly any task or event which is not affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The packing and shifting experience has also suffered in service delivery, time, and overall experience. However, if you follow the takeaways listed above, you can get the maximum without putting your health at risk.
