Up until the new modified shelter in place orders, you couldn't move unless your lease expired or you already had the move planned. Also moving companies were allowed to stay open if they provided their movers with PPE, so many chose to shut down.

So for the most part people just couldn't move, even if they wanted to.

But if few people are moving anyway (for reasons above) then it doesn’t matter if there are fewer moving companies because of the above. Obviously some people are moving or the OP wouldn’t have been written
