Even when there isn't a global crisis, if you have to move, your normal routine becomes uprooted. Due to the spread of the novel coronavirus, though, is definitely more challenging. But how exactly does someone move during COVID-19? The number one goal of moving during this time is to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Learn more about moving during the COVID-19 pandemic with help from our expert Atlanta movers of All My Sons Moving & Storage.
Here are a few things you should do before moving during the COVID-19 outbreak.
1. Follow social distancing guidelines
It's crucial that you follow social distancing guidelines outlined by the CDC. Make sure you are keeping enough space between yourself and other people to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Throughout your entire move, you must maintain a distance of at least a six feet between yourself and the movers as well as others helping you move. Whether you are picking up packing supplies in Atlanta or grabbing food for your family, make sure you avoid exposure to the illness and keep your distance.
2. Wear protective gear
An excellent way to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is by wearing protective gear. During each phase of your moving process, it is highly recommended to use gloves, a mask, and other personal protective gear to avoid exposure to the illness. Moving during the COIVD-19 pandemic is risky business when you don't follow proper protocols. Make sure you are shielding your eyes, nose and mouth when taking on your next adventure. You can either purchase a mask or make your own. Protection is crucial during this time. Please take the necessary precautions.
3. Wash and sanitize hands frequently
During the COVID-19 pandemic, you must wash and sanitize your hands frequently. Washing your hands is the easiest way to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Make sure you are washing for at least 20 seconds with soap and water. However, if you are unable to get your hands on soap as you're moving during the COVID-19 outbreak, keep hand sanitizer handy. Choose a hand sanitizer that has at least 60% alcohol to fight off any bacteria, viruses, and germs. You'll be on your way to staying sanitized throughout your move while avoiding any potential illnesses.
You can absolutely still move during the COVID-19 pandemic if you take the necessary actions and follow the proper guidelines outlined by the local, state, and country government officials as well as the CDC and the WHO.
