Emirates Free Global Coverage for Covid-19



Emirates just released this news today that it will provide 150,000 EUR coverage to passengers who contract Covid-19.   Here are the details:




What’s not covered by the policy?


However, the coverage is not valid if your home country has issued a travel advisory.

"The free insurance does not cover travellers for the cost of testing for the virus before or during a trip.

If a destination requires travellers to have a PCR test upon arrival or show negative Covid-19 test results before boarding a flight, this must be paid for by the individual.

Emirates does not provide any cover for passengers in their own country of residence and is not valid if travellers decide to fly against the advice of their local government. Passengers must follow all the rules of local authorities in their destination or cover will be invalid.

Like all insurance policies, there’s also a long list of circumstances that render Emirates' Covid-19 cover invalid. These include, but are not limited to, civil war, hostage situations, riots and terrorism.

The cover also won't hold up in the event of another pandemic or epidemic, and travellers participating in gambling, crime or fighting, or who have consumed alcohol or drugs, will not be covered by the airline’s Covid-19 insurance."

The bottom line is, until Canada removes the Travel Advisory for travelling abroad, we don't have any medical/covid-19 coverage for travelling to Dubai.
