If like many of us, you are parents, your primary concern is the safety of your family. That’s why, with the consolidation of CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and AMSA (American Moving & Storage Association) guidelines and instructions, we have made a list of some proactive tips about how to act in these times of crisis. They are designed to reduce the risk and minimize the stress if you are moving during COVID-19 outbreak:
- Don’t compromise on your health and safety
- Look for professionals that are taking necessary measures
- Pay close attention to sanitation and packing supplies
- Consider additional storage options
- Keep your family active during coronavirus
Don’t compromise on your health and safety
Before you start planning your move, be sure it’s absolutely necessary to do it. Check all the available resources about the coronavirus and stay up to date with news. Only you will be able to weigh the sum of all facts and risks. There is some general advice you need to obey whether you are moving or not:
- Keep your hands clean using the soap and warm water
- Don’t touch your face with dirty hands
- Cope with social distancing and maintain at least 6 feet between people
- Avoid gatherings in general
- Wear a mask if you are constantly coughing or sneezing
- Contact the local health providers if you are having suspicious symptoms
- Be considerate to others
One more thing we’d like to emphasize is if you, or some of your family members, belong to a high-risk group, consider postponing your move until the threat is over. If not, make sure you explain to us the situation so we can take additional precautions. Please feel free to browse our lonestarmovers.net website or call us for more info about your upcoming relocation.
Look for professionals that are taking necessary measures
Since social distancing and isolation are the most effective ways to prevent putting yourself at risk, hiring a professional moving company is your best option. That way, you can make all the arrangements without physically participating in the moving process. You can remotely oversee the work of the staff while staying at a safe distance.
We at Lone Star Movers know exactly every type of challenge you are facing in this situation. You can make all the arrangements with us over the phone and we will make sure to answer all your questions. Rest assured that our team members are completely healthy and that we are using every type of protective gear to maximize safety. In fact, all our equipment is regularly cleaned before and after each relocation.
Pay close attention to sanitation and packing supplies
This is not the time to trade your safety for saving some money. You have to be sure all your packing supplies are up to the task. If you are thinking about using the old boxes you should ask yourself where they are coming from. It’s simply not worth the risk to use some of the potentially contaminated supplies. Globally, we are not yet absolutely sure about how long the virus can survive on the surfaces. So your best choice would be packing supplies of higher quality which can be thoroughly cleaned before the use.
As always, we are here to help you, so you can ask Lone Stare Movers about any advice regarding the proper packing supplies you might need. Also, if you need some additional services, you should know that we are a full-service moving. We are providing all types of premium services among which are packing and relocating your special items like artwork, instruments, and more.
Consider additional storage options
In case you are moving to a smaller place and you need the additional space for your trendy winter outfits, consider storage options. Don’t forget that because of the crisis you will need premium storage facilities that are secure, insured, with proper air conditions and a clean environment. Lone Star Movers are working with several storage facilities that are following all the sanitary regulations. And we will be glad to help you find a good and affordable solution for your items.
Keep your family active during coronavirus
Finally, if you have kids, like many of us, you might be partially surprised about recent events. We are all stretching ourselves between the job and the family, trying to ensure everyone is safe and healthy. One thing we sometimes don’t know how to deal with is the children’s physical activity. Especially in the time of restrictions and self-isolation. For the well-being of kids, and parents as well, it’s crucial to maintain it even indoors. We should all be creative finding different ways to keep the playing and education going. Kicking, throwing, jumping, or singing, just ask your kids what would they like to do. Because this is one of those things where they might be better advisors for this kind of problem then the adults.
Even in a situation like the COVID-19 outbreak, your life doesn’t have to be on hold. Of course, there are many steps you need to take to keep your family safe from coronavirus during relocation, but it’s quite doable. For any assistance regarding your relocation, Lone Star Movers will be there for you. Stay safe, and take good care of your family.
