A GROWING NUMBER OF COUNTRIES HAVE NOW MADE IT OBLIGATORY FOR TRAVELERS TO HAVE INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL INSURANCE THAT COVERS COVID-19.

Officials want to protect their healthcare systems from possible costs that increase and go unpaid when visitors who become COVID-19 patients don’t have coverage. It is important to pay attention to the terms in your existing international healthcare coverage. Often the policy can become void when you travel to a country with known infectious diseases (basically everywhere).

Today, some countries require travel insurance that covers COVID-19 to allow entry, such as: Aruba, Brazil, Costa Rica, Tahiti, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates. Even if it is not a requirement to enter a country, stay on the safe side when travelling by covering the riskiest factors involved while travelling during the pandemic.
