Does travel insurance cover medical treatment for COVID-19?

It does if there is not a Government of Canada travel advisory related to COVID-19 in place for your specific destination on the effective date of your policy.

However, suppose there is in place a Government of Canada travel advisory to avoid "non-essential" or "all" travel related to COVID-19 for your destination on the effective date of your policy; in that case, the Emergency Medical benefits under this plan won't cover treatment for COVID-19 if you end up contracting the illness while you are travelling abroad. In this case, you can buy supplementary coverage for COVID-19 separately through our call centre at 1-844-310-1578.
