I am being quarantined in Canada or abroad
Am I covered by my disability insurance if I am under mandatory quarantine at home?*
Yes, you are covered if the two following conditions are met:
- You have a group insurance contract that includes short-term disability
- You are showing symptoms of COVID-19 that prevent you from doing your job, even via telework.
* This information replaces the information in the previous memo.
Will my travel insurance cover my medical expenses if I contract COVID-19 and quarantined?
If no travel advisory was issued by the Canadian Government at the time of departure, your travel insurance will cover medical expenses.
If a level-3 travel advisory, including cruises, was issued by the Canadian Government at the time of departure, your travel insurance will not cover medical expenses.
