EXPERT COMMENT: GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCES GREENLIST COUNTRIES FOR TRAVEL

News this evening reveals that 12 countries will be placed on the government’s green list for travel, meaning  you will be able to travel to these countries without having to self-isolate on return to the UK. Travel Insurance Expert at Confused.com Jac Morris says:

“Our research found that over half (53%) of people said they would consider going overseas if the government said it was safe to do so, but the prospect of self-isolating on return is just not a possibility for everyone.  

“With almost a third (30%) of people already confused about how the coronavirus could impact their travel insurance, the new traffic light system should help to simplify things. And this will mean travelling to a country that is deemed safe should mean you are covered for claims on insurance policies.

“Plans are constantly changing, so it’s important to check your insurance providers’ guidance before making a holiday booking or starting a claim. We’ve created a guide which offers helpful advice and outlines policies from our travel insurance providers to clear up any confusion.”
