Travel insurance for government advice change

morph100

Im due to travel to Italy next month, current advice is I can with negative AntiGen or PCR test prior to travel and I can get insurance to cover me if this gives a positive result. But I am struggling to find an insurer to cover if Italy change the rules and say they no longer accept people from the UK regardless, does anyone cover this eventuality or am I wasting my time searching?

You need to self isolate for 5 days on arrival then take another test for release

From 21 June to 30 July, on arrival in Italy travellers who have been in the UK in the previous 14 days must present a negative molecular or antigen test taken in the 48 hours preceding entry into Italy and fill in a digital localisation form. They must also self-isolate for 5 days, at the end of which they must take a rapid antigenic or molecular swab test for COVID-19 and test negative for release. Children under the age of 6, from the UK, do not need to test but are not exempt from self-isolation.

Everyone arriving in Italy must also call the COVID-19 helpline for the region you are travelling within 48 hours, to inform them of your visit.

If you wish to fly, you must present the airline with a negative COVID-19 rapid antigenic or molecular swab test taken no more than 48 hours before travel.

Travellers arriving without a negative test will need to self-isolate for 10 days and undertake a test at the end of the isolation period.
