A coronavirus cover or coronavirus insurance is usually offered as a pocket size insurance policy to cover for costs ONLY for treatment pertaining to the COVID-19. Depending on your insurer, it could either be a lumpsum amount paid during claims or offered as a reimbursement based on your hospital bills.

A health insurance that covers coronavirus means your health insurance policy ALSO covers for coronavirus among other illnesses and diseases. You don’t have to buy a separate cover or policy for the same. It is all inclusive in your health insurance.

A coronavirus insurance is a short-term policy and the policy is no longer valid after a claim.

A health insurance is a long-term policy (you can choose from 1 year to multi-year plans) and you can claim as many times in a year, as long as your total claims don’t go above your total sum insured.

Important things to know about Coronavirus (COVID-19)

What is the difference between Quarantine, Self-Isolation, and Social Distancing?

You’ve probably been hearing all these words quite a bit and if you’ve ever wondered what the difference between them all is, here’s a quick overview for you to understand them better.

Quarantine

Self-Isolation

Social Distancing

Quarantine refers to the period of time where you need to be isolated and kept under observation – this can either be done at home or at a covid facility provided by your government or healthcare provider. People who have recently traveled, have been in some form of contact with a covid positive patient or are showing symptoms of the virus are usually kept under quarantine for at least up to 14 days.

Self-isolation is a voluntary protective measure you should take if you’ve recently traveled or are suspicious of having contracted the virus at any point. This simply means you isolate yourself from others at home and outside, so that you don’t have even the slightest chance of being a carrier of the virus.

Social distancing is a preventive measure we all must take whenever we step out of our homes. This simply means keeping at least 1 meter physical distance between people and reducing the number of times you may come in close contact with other people.
