Question: Our medical insurance covers us for urgent care and hospital stays, will that be sufficient for the BVI travel authorization forms or do we need to purchase a specific "Covid" policy? If so what does that entail and how much should we expect to pay? Thanks

Our most recent guests only had a letter from Blue Cross Blue Shield that specified their coverage included international care. No mention of Covid or quarantine cost and it was accepted.
