You show the symptoms of the Covid-19 disease or you are a carrier of the virus and you are abroad. Are you covered?

Covid-19 is covered in the same way as any other disease.

After testing positive, the person who has contracted Covid-19 is placed in quarantine with medical monitoring.

The patient must immediately contact Europ Assistance Belgium to open its medical file, via the traditional communication channels for assistance.

The medical assistance and the financial intervention of Europ Assistance Belgium will be carried out on the basis of the conditions of the contract, and in compliance with current health regulations.

The compensation is calculated after the intervention of the mutual insurance company and up to the maximum amount covered by the travel assistance contract.
