But, to ensure the safety of you, your family, and the local movers, it\u2019s critical to follow the guidelines set by the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/index.html\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Centers for Disease Control<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to thorough hand washing, keeping a distance of at least 6 feet, and wearing masks and gloves, here are a few more sanitation tips for moving:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deep clean your home before the movers arrive, whether hiring professionals or enlisting members of your household.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sanitize your moving supplies frequently. This includes anything other people will touch like moving boxes, packing supplies, bubble wrap, tape dispensers, scissors, or dollies.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use new cardboard boxes rather than discarded ones from items you\u2019ve ordered online. Once packed, wipe them down before the movers handle them. Then wipe again before you unpack.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deep clean your new home before the movers arrive with your things.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provide your movers with handwashing supplies, sanitizers, masks, and gloves.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Should I consider postponing my move?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It depends. If your move isn\u2019t essential or you are in a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/need-extra-precautions\/groups-at-higher-risk.html\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">high-risk category<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it\u2019s best to reassess your options. Similarly, if you or someone in your home is sick or has been exposed to the coronavirus, it\u2019s best to postpone your move. On the other hand, if your move is essential, like relocating a new job or moving to a larger home to accommodate your family, moving may be the only option. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you plan to travel by air for your move, make note that many airlines have reduced the number of flights. It\u2019s best to have a backup plan in place if your flight is canceled, such as renting a moving truck and driving to your destination.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are moving companies essential services?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, moving companies are considered an essential service. However, it\u2019s always best to check your state\u2019s website and contact your local authorities. Regulations are different all over the country and change rapidly. For instance, if you are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/30749\/NY\/New-York\/filter\/include=forsale+mlsfsbo+construction\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">living in New York City<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, some apartment complexes have canceled move-ins and many smaller businesses may be on a reduced work schedule.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the time comes to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/hiring-movers-guide\/\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hiring movers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or choosing a truck rental company, ask them what steps they\u2019re taking to protect their customers from the coronavirus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure to ask:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What social distancing measures do they have in place?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How often are they disinfecting their facilities, trucks, blankets, or other supplies?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How are they ensuring that employees aren\u2019t sick?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If they have to cancel due to illness, how much notice will you receive?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are the terms if you have to reschedule your moving day due to illness or exposure?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can you get a refund if you cancel your move?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are storage companies closed?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It depends. A few states specifically list storage facilities as essential businesses while other states are unclear. If you need to put your belongings in storage, it\u2019s best to check with your state\u2019s guidelines or contact the storage company you plan on using.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By understanding how to move safely during the coronavirus pandemic, you\u2019ll be able to make this transition as smooth as possible and protect yourself and those around you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><b>Redfin does not provide medical advice<\/b><\/em><br \/>\n<em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of the material provided on Redfin\u2019s blog, such as text, treatments, dosages, outcomes, charts, patient profiles, graphics, photographs, images, advice, messages, forum postings, and any other material provided on Redfin\u2019s blog is for informational purposes only and are not a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment.
