You’re probably wondering how your travel insurance covers you if you contract the influenza A virus before or during a trip abroad?
Rest assured!
If you contract the illness before you leave, most of our travel insurances offer cancellation cover and will compensate you if you can’t leave due to the flu. During your stay abroad, our travel insurances cover the medical costs of your treatment. There are no specific exclusions linked to H1N1 flu. Medical expenses are reimbursed in exactly the same way as for other illnesses covered by your policy.
What’s more, if you find yourself in a country where you cannot be treated and your state of health worsens, most of our policies cover the cost of repatriation to a country where you can be cared for, as well as the cost of extending your stay in the event of quarantine.
So with the right travel insurance, you can leave with peace of mind!
