The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has put a stop to common routines of our everyday life. Even though social distancing is the current course of action, moving isn’t always something you can put off. We want to answer the question everyone is wondering; how does a move work during a pandemic? More importantly, are moving companies still operating? Whether you are a client, or a moving company owner, it’s hard not to wonder if it’s OK to hire movers or operate as usual. Moving & coronavirus; we have answers.

Can Moving Companies Still Operate?

So far, the answer is yes. As long as we don’t see notices regarding shutdowns of any moving services, we will operate as usual. Decisions regarding shutdowns have been left to individual owners of moving companies. If your  business or family has scheduled a move, you can assume your move is still happening. Just to be safe, it may be wise to call and confirm your upcoming move. If you haven’t scheduled your move and you are worried about the current situation, it is hard to say what the future holds. Until moving companies are shut down, continue to compare moving companies and shop around. Most importantly, make sure you ask each moving company what they are doing to keep clients safe during the move.

Moving Companies & COVID-19

In the state of Utah, moving companies are considered essential services. Currently, moving services are in line with important institutions such as hospitals and pharmacies that are deemed necessary at this time. In addition, this means all movers in the Salt Lake area can continue providing moving services to clients. Most importantly, moving companies that are continuing to operate should have safety guidelines that help explain how they are protecting clients during each move.
