The greatest concern in the scenario of Covid-19 is, without a doubt, the health of the population. Although its lethality is low, the illness is highly contaminating, endangering health systems all over the world.

And that is why confinement has become the prevention against a collapse. However, it causes worrisome damage to worldwide economies. With fewer people allowed to go outdoors, general production is lowered, and the demand is also reduced for indirect production services, such as logistics, attendance, and many others.

Recession, in this scenario, seems inevitable. And even if we chose not to have quarantine, the economic damage would come from the implosion of the health systems in several countries worldwide. What to do, then?

We must concentrate on continuing to offer services and consumer goods in any way possible. Investing in digital solutions for sales, seeking new attendance channels for clients, and understanding their demands at this moment are essential attitudes for maintaining the economy heated and responding to the needs of the population.

Logistics, as well as relocation, continue as services essential to the public. Therefore, we shall continue working efficiently, offering our work to those who need it. Always, however, following protocols recommended by doctors, which ensure the health of our collaborators and clients.

The world is undergoing a challenging period. The novel coronavirus pandemic forces us to adapt many of our daily habits, just as it forced us to revise priorities and postpone commitments.

However, there are situations that cannot be postponed. The planning of a move, for instance, can be very difficult to reschedule, for various personal reasons. This is why the companies in this sector were considered essential by the Brazilian government, even in a quarantine period.

FINK, for instance, adapted its practices in necessary points, instituting protocols that involved hand sanitizing and social distancing for its collaborators. Furthermore, we increased the use of digital tools, such as virtual survey, a practice at which we are pioneers in Brazil.

However, in the first place, what can the client do to avoid risk? There are some important practices that can reduce considerably any risk and enables a tranquil move.

In the case of a move with families, it is essential to reduce the number of people in contact with the move. This is even more important when elderly people are involved, as well as other people who are part of the at-risk group, such as those who have diabetes, hypertension, or pulmonary problems. If possible, the ideal is to put these members of the family in a hotel, where they will be safe and isolated until the process of moving is finished.

The clients in contact with the process of moving should take every precaution as to social distancing and sanitizing. They should avoid as much as possible contact with other people and surfaces shared by many people. They should always carry a bottle of alcohol gel and, if possible, often wash their hands with soap. This reduces the risk of contamination.

At the end of the move, do not forget to sanitize the furniture touched by the moving crew and other people involved in the work. This is extremely important, since the virus survives for several hours and even days on any surface.

Lastly, we must all keep calm and try, in some way, to carry on with life. Situations such as a move may be impossible to postpone, and can be executed by competent professionals that follow safety protocols.
