Travel insurance company Battleface is offering £5 million worth of cover for medical expenses resulting from Covid-19 while abroad.
However, the product does not cover travellers who contract the coronavirus before they travel and have to cancel the trip.
The policy is available for travellers aged up to and including 59.
Sasha Gainullin, Chief Executive of Battleface, said: “If the FCO advises against ‘all but essential’ travel to a country, it more often than not invalidates travellers’ insurance, and visiting there is at your own risk.
“Battleface removes that uncertainty and gives travellers the confidence they’ve been looking for.”
