9. I have purchased a travel insurance, what will be covered if I am still travelling?

Single Trip Policies (for departures from Brunei, Malaysia and Singapore)

Policies issued 20 Mar 2020 and after: These will not cover any claims arising from the COVID-19 pandemic inclusive of medical expenses & medical assistance cases based on the terms and conditions of the Policy Wording.

Policies issued from 22 Jan 2020 to 19 Mar 2020: These will provide coverage such as overseas medical benefits or emergency medical assistance in relation to the COVID-19 situation based on the terms and conditions of the Policy Wording and the benefits claimed. However, trip cancellations, including travel delays and luggage delays to any countries will not be covered.

Policies issued 21 Jan 2020 and before: These will provide coverage based on the terms and conditions of the Policy Wording and the benefits claimed.

IMPORTANT:  Given the rapid rise in travel bans, please first ensure that no travel ban is in place during your dates of travel PRIOR TO purchasing a travel insurance policy.  Policies purchased while a known travel ban is in place will have extremely limited insurance coverage, and we highly recommend NOT to purchase travel insurance policies when such conditions exist.
