Even in regular circumstances, relocating is a challenge. So, what should we say then about moving during a pandemic? Whether one is moving long-distance or locally (like relocating to Deerfield from Glencoe, Chicago), the current situation is affecting all of us. Many of you would like to delay moving, but what to do when it’s not possible? Here are tips on how to relocate safely during coronavirus pandemic.
Health and Family Come First
People in the high-risk groups (if someone from your family is ill or an elderly) are the ones to be avoided during the organization and overall move. If possible, do not allow your family members from risk groups to take part in packing or any other activities. Also, if someone from your home is infected, contact your Chicago moving company and notify them. They will do whatever they can to help.
Hire Responsible Movers
When contacting your relocation company, make sure to arrange everything online or through phone calls, minimizing the contact. Also, it’s essential to check if the moving team is aware of all the risks, as well as well-prepared (for example, wearing protective masks on their faces). What you can also do is provide sanitizing products for them, just in case. Avoid any possible physical interaction and keep a safe distance, even during the moving day.
Pack Carefully and Safely
Among all the packing tips, one thing is crucial at this point – avoid borrowing boxes from someone else. Utilize all the boxes you already have (like the ones that are part of the original packaging for the tech appliances), or get plastic crates. Plastic boxes are easier to use since you can easily clean and sanitize them, which is of the utmost importance. We hope you stay safe and healthy during these challenging times. Let’s all relocate to a healthier reality!
