Covid Travel Insurance

6 Posts

Me & my partner are scheduled to fly out to Jamaica 13/01/2022.
I have, stupidly, not purchased travel insurance yet, I was waiting for results of an investigation so held off purchasing.
We have both recently tested positive for Covid 19 and I'm worried that our fit to fly tests may come back positive & we won't be able to travel.
If we can't travel due to positive tests will the insurance cover us as we've purchased after having covid?
TIA

An insurance policy won’t cover a pre-existing condition unless you declare it. I doubt you will find an insurer who will cover you if you declare you have Covid.
This is what most insurance companies are saying in their covid cover if you can't travel sure to falling ill...'Subject to medical certification / test result. No cover if symptoms or diagnosis occurred prior to your policy purchase'
