The current "lockdown light" again raises many questions among Germans.

For example, those who have planned a move want to know what needs to be considered.

During the first lockdown in spring, a planned move was subject to a few rules *: For example, no friends or relatives were allowed to lend a hand - unless they were part of their own household.

Many Germans are rightly wondering whether and how a move can take place during the “Lockdown light” in November.

"Corona-Lockdown": Can I make my planned move?

First the good news:

You can basically also move during the "lockdown light"

- as long as it takes place within Germany.

Please note, however, that there

can be

regional differences

despite uniform regulations

- especially if you are in a municipality in which the number of new infections has reached a critical value.

You can find out more from the competent authority for your current and future place of residence.

In addition, there should not be anyone from the household who is moving who is currently under quarantine measures.

Can friends and relatives help me move during the Corona crisis?

Moving with the help of friends is often cheaper than the moving company.

But can friends and relatives be brought in without any problems?

The current contact restrictions in Germany state:

A maximum of ten people from two households are allowed to meet in public

- the same applies to moving.

If you are still unsure, it is best to ask the responsible regulatory office.

“Lockdown” in Germany: Are moving companies still allowed to work?

"People who are moving do not have to worry about their move at the moment," says Dierk Hochgesang, General Manager of the Federal Association of Furniture Forwarding and Logistics (AMÖ) according to the Immowelt online portal.

A moving company and everyone living in the household can lend a hand without restrictions when moving.

Basically, however, a

distance of 1.5 meters and the applicable hygiene rules

must still be observed.

In some regions, it may also be mandatory to wear a face-to-face mask in public places.

If you still want to postpone your move, according to the expert, you should look at the terms and conditions in the contract - the individual case decides whether a

free cancellation is

possible.

Despite the lockdown, there is no work ban, so a move can be carried out.

At most, one infected or quarantined person in the household and moving to a region that is classified as a risk area could be exceptions.

Moving despite quarantine - is that possible?

According to the Robert Koch Institute, people who are in quarantine are not allowed to leave their homes for 14 days.

Moving is therefore not possible.

This regulation can only be revoked for you with the express permission of the health department.

Let your carrier know if you are

in quarantine, infected, or have been in a risk area

.

This allows the moving company to check whether the date should be postponed.
