Question: How can I make moving as painless as possible?

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Government advice on home moving during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak
section_headers: Advice to the public
People self-isolating or having tested positive for coronavirus
section_content: More detail on progressing the individual elements of the home buying and
selling or rental process and how this applies to different groups is set out
in the next section.
Moving home is not appropriate whilst you pose a direct risk of transmitting
coronavirus. People who have coronavirus or are self-isolating with their
family member should not leave their home to either move home, or undertake
property viewings.
If you are contractually committed to move home, you should delay your move
until all members of your household have come to the end of their self-
isolation period. All parties involved in home buying and selling should
prioritise agreeing amicable arrangements to change move dates for
individuals, or where someone in a chain or their family member is self-
isolating or has tested positive for coronavirus.
Should a move be essential for people in this category, for instance due to an
urgent health and safety risk, please contact Public Health England/local
public health teams for advice.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Has information about who shouldn't move right now. Doesn't offer advice on moving safely.
This is about whether or not people should move if there is a person in the household who has or is suspected of having COVID. It doesn't really go into detail about the moving process itself.

5. Agreeing to move

Once you have agreed to move home by exchanging contracts or signing a tenancy
agreement, you have entered into a legal agreement to move. We encourage all
parties to be as flexible as possible over this period and be prepared to
delay moves if needed, for example if someone becomes ill with coronavirus
during the moving process or has to self-isolate. You should not expect to
move into any home where people are ill or self-isolating.

Your legal adviser should be able to help you to ensure that any contract you enter into has sufficient flexibility to allow the purchase to be delayed in the event that an individual in one of the parties contracts coronavirus or has to self-isolate.
We encourage you to be as flexible as possible if you are asked to delay your move, and in turn, you can speak to your legal advisor about this.

Has some advice about moving but says most of it is in the next section.
This explains that the buying and selling parties should be flexible about moving in case someone gets infected. There isn't really anything specific about the actual moving process, though.

6. Moving your belongings

Removal firms are able to operate, although they may need to adjust usual
procedures in order to ensure moves happen as safely as possible.

We encourage you to contact removal firms as early as possible in advance of your move.
You and your household should also try and do as much of the packing yourself as possible. However, where you are using a removals firm, you may wish to talk to them in advance to discuss packing and in particular, the arrangements for packing fragile items.
We ask that, where possible, you clean your belongings, with standard domestic cleaning products before they are handled by others, including removal firms.
Whilst the removers are in your home, you should ensure any internal doors are open and seek to minimise your contact with the crew, maintaining a distance of at least 2 metres where possible.
All parties should wash their hands and avoid touching surfaces where possible to reduce the risk of transmitting the coronavirus.
You should not provide refreshments but you should ensure they have access to hand washing facilities, using separate towels or paper towels if possible, which should be washed or disposed of safely afterwards.
