Our previous procedure for safe operations:
March 23rd, 2020
Is Moving Fellows Operating during COVID-19 “Shelter in Place”?
Yes. Moving and trucking is exempt (for now) from business closers. As of March 23rd, 2020 the executive order bans all “non-essential social gatherings”. This motion extends to all “non-essential businesses”. Moving is considered “essential” and, for the moment, is not impacted by the latest order. To remain open, moving companies must create policies to allow for “social distancing of six feet” and must appoint an employee to administer this requirement.
What is Moving Fellows doing to keep me safe?
The following policies are currently being rolled into action:
Full disclosure related to “flu-like” symptoms among staff (effective March 18th, 2020)
Masks and gloves must be present at all job sites (effective March 24th, 2020)
