Having worked in the insurance industry for all of my "Employed" working life I will be amazed if a general exclusion has not already been added to all new Travel Insurance policies. My family members are hoping to visit me at the end of August having changed their flights. I keep asking them to check with the travel insurance company that they are still covered for Covid19.

We have a yearly/family one, runs out in January. I already confirmed with them we are covered if we caught Covid. Though as you say, I doubt the new one will have it, or i'll be made aware we can have it covered for an extra premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine there might be a surcharge for Covid cover, if there isn't then they have a missed a trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine that most, if not all new travel/health insurance policies will include Covid19/Pandemic in their T&C’s and charge extra for it. They’d be stupid not too, considering it could flare up just about anywhere at any time. If I were traveling anywhere, I would ensure any policy I took out, definitely included it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I would be worried about getting the virus, but I think if there is a second wave, the sort of sympathy shown by many nations towards tourists may run out, in that case id want to make sure my ass is covered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
