Travel medical insurance plans can cover COVID-19 if contracted after the policy effective date. The insured must first visit a general physician for consultation regarding the new illness. After diagnostic tests, the attending physician will determine the possible time frame of infection. The COVID-19 virus will have an incubation period. The âÃÂÃÂincubation periodâÃÂàrefers to the time between catching the virus and starting to display symptoms of the disease. Most estimates of the incubation period for COVID-19 range from 1-14 days, with most people commonly experiencing symptoms on the 5th day.
