Protects you against quarantine costs, flight delays or cancellations due to a pandemic
Pandemic insurance, in its current form, is a subsection of travel insurance.
This type of travel coverage wasn’t available to most people until recently, when travel insurance companies had to respond to the changes brought about by the pandemic.
Pandemic insurance coverage helps cover quarantine costs, flight delays or cancellations, or contracting covid while abroad.
For example, if you’re flying to Tokyo and a new lockdown goes into place as you’re in the sky, pandemic insurance will help with your accommodation and food costs as you quarantine.
Also, pandemic insurance will help with medical costs if you become ill with covid while traveling.
Business insurances are available for every eventuality and after 2020, this is one of those that you may want to bet could happen again.
What Is Pandemic Insurance and What Does It Cover?
Regular travel insurance or travel health insurance will not cover pandemic-related illness unless specifically outlined in the policy plan.
In addition to high-quality travel insurance, some airlines, like Etihad, automatically provide pandemic travel insurance with all of their flights.
This not only covers catching coronavirus during the flight but during your trip as well.
