TuGo has announced that, effective Nov. 30, 2021, it will cover both vaccinated and unvaccinated Canadian travellers who wish to travel, even on cruise ships, and even if there is a level 4 advisory issued by the government to avoid all travel.
The company says, also beginning Nov. 30, it will provide coverage to Canadians, allowing them to cancel or interrupt their trip as a result of a medical condition related to COVID-19. “TuGo’s cancel for any reason feature has also been updated to ensure increased flexibility, allowing customers who purchase this add-on features to cancel up to five days, previously 10 days, before departure for any reason, and receive 50 per cent of their pre-paid, unused, non-refundable travel costs,” the company said in a statement announcing the changes.
“TuGo provides COVID-19 coverage under our emergency medical insurance plans for vaccinated Canadians, up to the policy limit,” the company adds in its frequently asked questions. “We now provide coverage to travellers regardless of travel advisory levels issued by the Canadian government. Our COVID-19 - Unvaccinated plan for unvaccinated Canadians and those wanting extra quarantine benefits, also remains unchanged.”
The company adds that it still provides COVID-19 coverage for travel within Canada, regardless of vaccination status.
