Mysore/Mysuru: COVID-19 has taken the world by storm. What began in China’s Wuhan has now cast its shadow in more than 100 countries, including India. While several advisories are floating around on prevention, will your health insurance cover it if you indeed happen to get infected?
For now, the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) has taken immediate measures. IRDAI said all Coronavirus-related claims shall be expeditiously handled and all expenses incurred during the course of treatment, including during the quarantine period, shall be covered by all insurers — State-owned and private.
