Typically trip cancellations are covered in standard travel insurance policies. The insurer compensates for the travel cancellation or interruption for the events beyond your control and those which are mentioned in the policy. For instance:
Illness
Death of the traveler
Death of a traveling partner
Death of a family member not traveling
Unfriendly weather
A terrorism accident
A natural disaster
are usually covered by the insurance companies under the head of Travel Cancellation or Travel Interruption.
However, the facility of “cancel for any reason” is available for purchase. You can purchase the option along with the standard insurance plan or as an alternative as well. The facility will cover cancellation or interruption even for the reasons not stated in the policy which can include covid-19.
