COVID-19 stopped being a novelty risk years ago, but it never stopped cancelling trips. A positive test two days before a non-refundable departure remains one of the most common cancellation events in travel, which is why Travel Protect includes COVID-19 cover on both plans rather than selling it as an extra.

- Trip cancellation for a positive diagnosis. If you or a listed traveller is diagnosed with COVID-19 and cannot travel, cancellation cover responds up to your plan's limit: up to $4,000 on COVID Basic, or up to the cancellation limit you selected (up to $40,000) on Explorer.
- Overseas emergency medical treatment for COVID-19 falls under the unlimited* overseas emergency medical benefit like any other sudden illness.
What COVID Basic is for
COVID Basic exists for the traveller who wants the two protections that can matter most at the lowest price: unlimited* emergency medical (including COVID-19 treatment) and up to $4,000 of cancellation cover including a positive diagnosis. It deliberately has no baggage benefit. If your prepaid costs exceed $4,000 or you are carrying luggage worth protecting, Explorer is the better fit.
