The Covid-19 Coronavirus and Your Current Health Insurance

We may be halfway through the 21-days lockdown period, but the fight against coronavirus is far from being over. The number of positive cases in India are rising every day, and it is becoming more and more important for people to understand the gravity of the situation. Take good care of yourself and your loved ones because nobody is truly immune to the disease. First of all, do not fret if you have medical insurance given that it also works as a coronavirus insurance.

It’s a scary world out there, but if you have the right precautions and safety measures in place, you do not need to worry as much. The world is currently fighting against a deadly pandemic virus, and every individual must contribute in reducing the spread and flattening the curve of the novel covid-19. Practice social distancing, eat healthily, maintain a clean environment and exercise daily. While these are, what we want to call ‘Plan A’, you need to have ‘Plan B’ in place as well i.e., a health insurance policy.

Healthcare is getting more and more expensive and easy access to healthcare is even more difficult. For those who can afford it, health insurance is a must in case an unfortunate catastrophe strikes. Health insurance is there to protect you and your family. It takes care of all medical and hospitalization expenses and in comparison, to a Mediclaim Policy, a Health Insurance policy covers a longer list of illnesses and provides more benefits (subject to the company’s terms and conditions).
