Can anyone share any insurance policy which can cover COVID-19 in Singapore as well as when travelling overseas? Thanks in advance!?

With the World Health Organisation declaring COVID’19 as a pandemic, many insurers have released announcements that it will be considered a known event and be excluded from their travel insurance coverage.

Currently, the MediShield and Integrated Shield Plans (ISP) can be used should you develop Covid’19 symptoms within 14 days after returning to Singapore. However, do note that this is only if your trip is under one of the permitted arrangements.

For coverage overseas, an option to consider will be getting international health insurance. These can help to cover hospitalisation and outpatient fees while you are abroad. In extreme cases, emergency medical evacuation or reparation is also covered.

Some examples include Liberty MyHEALTH and Cigna International. In addition, APRIL International’s medical policies cover any treatment costs related to coronavirus as well.
