Coronavirus Update:

On January 30th, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a public health emergency of international concern, and in early February the WHO recognized it as an epidemic. On February 24th the WHO confirmed that there are now multiple epidemics in different parts of the world.

Our travel insurance policies cover Emergency Medical and Associated Expenses related to COVID-19 as well as Accomodation costs related to COVID-19 quarantine if you are infected while travelling.  For More details, please read our Policy Wording document. 

Given the current travel restrictions, we strongly recommend you to get informed on your travel destinations before you purchase any  travel plans  .

You should also monitor official updates regarding the Coronavirus at the following sources:

• The Department of Foreign Affairs to follow travel advisories and recommendations.
• The World Health Organization to be informed on the outbreak of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) 
  worldwide.

IMPORTANT:  Given the rapid rise in travel bans, please first ensure that no travel ban is in place during your dates of travel prior to purchasing a  travel insurance policy  .  Policies purchased during a known travel ban will not be valid during that period. We therefore highly recommend NOT to purchase travel insurance policies when such conditions exist
