OK, I think that is very definitely a big change for them. But will they cover emergency evac??

Again--RonDon--what does the policy say about medical evac?? Coverage for medical evac for Covid 19 is a HUGE deal..

I've found the medical evacuation question a bit harder to answer for companies I have been using for travel insurance. But, it is clearly answered for Travelex at https://www.travelexinsurance.com/covid19. "An insured is also eligible for Emergency Medical/Evacuation coverage if the insured contracts the coronavirus while traveling." At least for that policy, they are paying cancellation coverage if you get Covid-19 and are quarantined. It will not cover if unless you actually get the disease, though, even if there are travel restrictions in place. Why can't other insurance companies have a page this clear?

"....if the insured CONTRACTS the coronavirus while traveling..."
What happens if someone tests positive upon arrival? Is that the same as "while traveling"???

I would say no since it's not an instantaneous infection ...
Edit: I should add that if you BECAME positive during a stay on Island then MAYBE

OK, to be clear, you're talking about the separate policy you have, which covers Covid evac, and NOT the Allianz.? I don't see anything in JD's link that talks about medical evac at all.
