Travel Insurance for Norovirus

Norovirus is a highly contagious viral infection that causes vomiting, diarrhoea, and stomach cramps, often coming on quite suddenly but usually resolving within a few days. In the UK, it affects hundreds of thousands of people each year, particularly during the winter months. Symptoms and severity can vary, but most people recover fully with rest and hydration.

Most people who have had norovirus continue to travel as normal once they’ve recovered, and with a little planning and proper timing, it can often be done safely and comfortably.

Here’s why travel insurance matters following an infection:

• 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 who have had norovirus

• Pack any medication you normally take for your condition
• Stay hydrated, especially when travelling in warmer climates
• Be cautious with food and drink choices, particularly in unfamiliar locations
• Research toilet facilities if symptoms can be unpredictable

When completing the medical declaration, it's important to read the questions carefully, and declare this condition where required.

We can provide travel insurance for travellers who have been diagnosed with a wide range of medical conditions. The type of cover available can depend on how severe the condition is and how it is managed. For that reason, it’s important to answer all medical declaration questions honestly and accurately.
