Annual Holiday Insurance

We have always had annual holiday insurance with Touchdown. The policy expires on the 2/6/20 and we had flights booked to the USA on the 18th July. I phoned up to renew the policy but Touchdown no longer offer holiday insurance. We can buy new insurance from another provider but we won't be covered for Covid! It looks like our flight in July will go ahead with Air Canada but the USA won't currently let us in due to travel restrictions. Air Canada is only offering a voucher for flights up to the 30th June. 

What do I do, any suggestions?

    It is a pitfall of annual travel insurance (I've never thought of it before COVID-19)
    If it does fly, there might be little you can do, hopefully for you it will be cancelled or they will offer at least a voucher.
