Keeping Safe While Moving During Coronavirus

Are you faced with having to move during the Coronavirus pandemic? Not all moves can wait, and we don’t always have control over schedules. It may not be ideal, but fortunately, there are several ways that you and local moving companies in St. Louis can help keep everyone healthier while moving during the Coronavirus pandemic.

 

Always Ask Your Movers How They Are Mitigating COVID Risks
If you are planning to hire a moving company to handle the relocation, then be sure to ask what steps are being taken to mitigate Coronavirus health risks. According to the CDC, the virus spreads mainly through person-to-person contact and can even be spread by asymptomatic people. For this reason, it’s important to ask local moving companies what kind of personal protective equipment (PPE) they plan to wear.

 

Wear Masks, Gloves and Proper PPE
Whether you’ve hired one of the local moving companies or are moving on your own, do not forget to wear protective gear when moving during the Coronavirus pandemic. In addition to wearing PPE, be sure to keep a safe distance of at least 6 feet between yourself and the movers.

 

Offer Hand-Wash and Hand Sanitizer on Moving Day

Washing and disinfecting our hands is the single best way to prevent spreading any viral infection. Don’t forget to have hand-wash and a roll of paper towels by the bathroom and kitchen sinks for you and your moving crew.
