Based on the complex epidemiological situation in the country as a consequence of COVID-19, last 2020 ESICUBA issued modifications to its Travel Insurance.

These insurances are intended for all foreign visitors who arrive in the national territory through Cuban receptors, travel agencies, international tour operators and airlines with operations in Cuba.

In order to meet the demands of this market in the current situation, and in turn support in a certain way the health protocols announced by the Cuban authorities, the insurance company decided to include COVID-19 coverage as part of the benefits provided by the product.

But, in essence, what expenses cover such coverage?

1. Medical expenses for cases of COVID-19. In the event that a traveler becomes infected in Cuba, he/she will have covered all the medical and hospital expenses incurred based on the medical indications of authorized doctors.

2. Expenses derived from the PCR test. If during the stay in Cuba, the traveler presents symptoms compatible with COVID-19 and the performance of the PCR test is prescribed for the confirmation of the disease, carried out in a health institution by an authorized physician, the cost of said test will be covered.

3. Prolongation of stay for quarantine due to suspected contagion with COVID-19. It covers the medical expenses (medicines, accommodation and food) necessary to keep the traveler in the isolation center during the period of quarantine or isolation until their return to the country of origin.

In addition, it should be known that the diagnostic test (PCR) or preventive health controls established in the health authorities’ medical protocol are excluded from this coverage.
