Hiring the services

The COVID-19 virus can spread easily from a contaminated surface or an infected person. It’s good to check about the protective measures done by the logistics services you hire like:
  • Are they providing their professionals with masks, gloves, boots and sanitisation kits on the relocation day?
  • How many people would be required in the shifting process? 

Get written approval from the Resident Welfare Association of the new Kerala flat you are shifting to.

Virtual survey

In the pre- COVID situation, a logistics professional would visit your present house in person to get an idea of the things to be shifted. A video call is the best way to do a home survey nowadays and discuss the estimate. Discuss the Cancellation policy in advance in case you postpone the shifting plan.

Clean and disinfect the house

Before shifting all precautionary measures and thorough sanitisation should be done at both the ends. 
  • Sanitise the doorknobs, doors, windows, tables, kitchen slabs, furniture, lights and switches etc. 
  • Clean and disinfect the whole house. 
  • Keep the windows and doors open for ventilation.
  • Always wear masks, gloves and face shields and regularly wash your hands throughout the shifting.
  • Request the service providers to wash or sanitise their hands frequently till the shifting process is complete.
Maintain a six-feet distance
  • Compulsorily maintain a minimum of six-feet distance with the workers while packing, loading and unloading process.
  • Keep small kids or any other vulnerable people in a separate room. 
  • Consider digital modes of money transfer to settle logistics bills.
Disinfect your new home before unpacking

After shifting to your new Kerala flat:
  • Clean and disinfect your furniture and other belongings.
  • Carefully dispose of all packing materials in an isolated area to avoid any human contact. The COVID 19 virus is said to be active on cardboards for up to 24 hours and plastic for 72 hours. Try to leave packing materials on the terrace/balcony or in the open space untouched for three days before dumping.
  • Spray disinfectant in each part of your new Kerala flat before setting up the furniture and other décor items.
