COVID-19 Travel Insurance with Quarantine Coverage

Last Updated:  February 13, 2024

COVID-19, also known as coronavirus, originated in late 2019. It quickly spread throughout the globe as a pandemic, infecting nearly 700 million people and taking almost seven million lives.

There are many international travel insurance plans available that cover COVID-19 like any other new sickness that occurs after the effective date of the policy.

Additionally, some countries still have the additional requirement that COVID-19 travel insurance should provide quarantine or accommodation expenses if the person were to test positive while in their destination country. You may be wondering what travel insurance covers COVID-19 quarantine.
