Coronavirus – FAQs for consumers

The Commission has published some FAQs on the consumer pages of its website to help inform consumers. These aim to provide easily accessible and clear information on the possible impact of coronavirus (Covid-19) on travel insurance and medical insurance for people living in the Bailiwick.

With the Foreign and Commonwealth Office now advising against "all but essential travel" to Italy, it has become increasingly important to understand the impact this may have on potentially being able to claim on a travel insurance policy. By understanding the terms and conditions of a travel policy - and in particular the cover and exclusions – this will help in understanding the consequences of a decision on whether or not to travel, and whether a claim on a travel insurance policy would be paid.

The FAQs provide answers to a number of important questions relevant to local consumers, as well as covering a number of other topics relating to coronavirus and insurance.

The FAQs can be found on the Commission’s website at https://www.gfsc.gg/consumers/faqs along with other information specifically created for and relevant to the Bailiwick.
