It seems like COVID-19 has disrupted almost everything about our lives, and moving homes is no exception. From finding a new place to packing and moving, nearly every aspect of a typical move has completely changed.
You might find yourself asking:
Can I move during COVID?
What is moving like right now?
How can I keep myself safe and healthy while moving?
We know that things are stressful right now, so here’s everything you need to know about moving during the Coronavirus crisis.
So if you’re moving into, out of, or to a different part of Massachusetts, you are free to do so. However, remember to take extra precautions to keep your family safe. That includes maintaining a 6-foot distance from your moving crew and washing your hands thoroughly and frequently. And if you or someone you’re moving with is older or immuno-compromised, it might be wise to reschedule your move if possible.
Can You Tour A Home?
In Massachusetts, most real estate companies have suspended open houses and in-person tours. Luckily, virtual tours are available for many listings. With high-quality images and videos you can get a good idea of what a space is like.
And if you are serious about a place, you may be able to request a socially distant one-on-one showing.
Can I Move To A New State During COVID-19?
Most state and local governments have decided that moving is an essential service during COVID-19, so you should be able to move.
However, you should still check with any moving companies, service providers, and local government offices to make sure that you are good to go. Use this CDC resource to check the state you’re moving out of, the state you’re moving into, and any states you’ll be traveling through during your move.
How To Get Your Supplies
When moving, people try to save money wherever they can. But during a global pandemic, you don’t want to cut costs on your moving supplies by reusing boxes from supermarkets or other businesses. The National Institute of Health has warned that the novel Coronavirus can survive for up to 24 hours on cardboard and 3 days on plastic.
Don’t take the risk. Opt for brand new boxes and moving supplies from Gallo Moving, delivered to you for free in Eastern, Central, and South Shore of Massachusetts. Order them through our website today!

COVID-19 is primarily spread by person-to-person contact, which is why social distancing is so important to halting transmission. If you can’t reschedule or postpone your move, the best way to stay safe during the process is to keep your distance from movers and other service providers.

Get a free, personalized estimate for your home and moving needs. All you need to do is upload pictures and videos of your home or schedule a live virtual assessment with one of our professional estimators.
