Moving During COVID: Tips For Staying Safe
Even under normal circumstances, moving to a new home is stressful. But these are not the best of circumstances!
THE RECENT COVID-19 PANDEMIC HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED THE WAY WE LIVE AND WORK AND HAS MADE THE PROCESS OF MOVING PARTICULARLY CHALLENGING.
Are you moving during COVID? From finding a new place, packing, loading, and setting up your new home- virtually every aspect of a typical move has been completely upended.
ARE MOVING AND STORAGE COMPANIES STILL OPERATING?
Moving is classified by the State of New York as an “essential activity.” While not all Westchester moving companies are choosing to continue operating during this time, Al’s Moving is OPEN and fully operational. As an “essential service” provider, our White Plains moving company is fully staffed and finding new ways to connect with and service our clients, albeit with special safety and sanitation measures in place. From “virtual surveys” to masks, gloves, extra hand washing and increased sanitation of our trucks and equipment, Al’s Moving is facing the Covid-19 challenge head on.
ARE MOVING COMPANIES WORKING: Moving During COVID?
AMSA advises moving companies to practice increased hygiene and cleanliness to protect both employees and customers. That means wearing gloves and masks, washing hands regularly, using hand sanitizer, cleaning trucks more often, and giving estimates online or by phone.
Individual companies have made their own changes. Al’s Moving is also focusing on minimizing contact between moving crews and customers, including asking customers to leave their homes while the move is happening. Crew members will travel separately to jobs and are being asked to stay home if they feel sick. If you are moving during Covid you can rest assure that Al’s Moving is taking all necessary safety precautions.
