If you’ve been diagnosed with COVID-19 recently, it’s important that you discuss it with a doctor before travelling. They will need to ensure your condition is adequately managed and that you are fit to fly.

A diagnosis doesn’t necessarily mean giving up on travel - with the right preparation and medical advice, many people can continue to travel safely and enjoy holidays abroad.

Here’s why travel insurance matters when travelling with a medical condition:

• Emergency medical treatment abroad if your condition causes complications
• Hospital treatment and medical expenses during your trip
• Repatriation to the UK if you need to return home for further care
• Cancellation cover if you are unable to travel due to your condition

Travel advice for people with a contagious condition

• Take medication at the same times you normally would at home

• Avoid triggers that may worsen symptoms where possible
• Allow time for rest if fatigue affects you
