Our JustCover travel insurance policies provide cover for Coronavirus related claims if:
- you are up to date with Coronavirus vaccinations as recommended by the Health Service Executive (HSE) (if in doubt please check with your medical practitioner), or you were medically unable to have the vaccinations as evidenced by your medical records; and
- you are travelling to a country or area where the DFA/WHO are not advising against all or all but essential travel due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

- in quarantine on the date you are due to commence your trip, on the orders of a treating
medical practitioner due to Coronavirus, suspected Coronavirus or exposure to someone
who has been diagnosed with Coronavirus.
– Section 2, if you need to curtail your trip and return to your home earlier than planned due to the hospitalisation or death of an immediate relative, as a result of them having contracted Coronavirus.
– Section 6, if during your trip you contract Coronavirus and you need medical treatment.
– Section 6, if you have to extend your trip due to either contracting Coronavirus or being quarantined on the orders of the treating medical practitioner, due to Coronavirus, suspected Coronavirus or exposure to someone who has been diagnosed with Coronavirus, cover for additional travel and accommodation expenses is limited to €2,000.
