The pandemic of coronavirus disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 broke out in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. A few months later, on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 pandemic.

On May 5, 2023, the WHO announced that the coronavirus disease was no longer a global public health emergency of international concern, but continued to believe that the pandemic was not yet over. As of today, the vast majority of countries have lifted restrictions related to coronavirus infection, but people around the world continue to get sick.

At the same time, 95.9% of those infected, namely 674,961,136 people, recovered. Unfortunately, for 1% of people, coronavirus infection was fatal. Thus, as of March 2024, more than 7 million people have died from Covid-19, namely 7,004,688 people.

In general, another 3.1% (over 22 million) of the world's population, namely 22,030,817 people, are currently ill.

Do I need Covid-19 travel insurance now?

Currently, Covid-19 insurance is not a prerequisite for entry in most countries, but authorities recommend that all travelers choose insurance policies that cover coronavirus cases, as the risk of infection remains worldwide.

It's also worth remembering  that health insurance is the key to a tourist's confidence and safety while traveling. After all, an insurance policy will not only help you get high-quality medical care, but also save your own money in an unforeseen situation, for example, in case of a flight delay or loss of luggage at the airport.
