Top questions about COVID-19 and travel insurance


COVID-19 travel insurance provides coverage in the event you experience unexpected costs in relation to the Coronavirus.


The COVID-19 Pandemic Travel Insurance plan covers COVID-19 related emergency medical expenses, non COVID-19 related emergency medical benefits, and trip interruption coverage in the event you need to self-isolate or quarantine during your trip.


For fully vaccinated travellers:

If you have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 at least 14 days before the start of your trip, CoverMe Travel insurance plans that include Emergency Medical benefits will provide coverage for unforeseen medical emergencies related to COVID-19.

This includes:

  • Single-Trip and Multi-Trip Emergency Medical plans
  • Single-Trip and Multi-Trip All-Inclusive plans
  • Top Up plan
  • TravelEase plan
  • Students plan for Canadians studying abroad
  • COVID-19 Pandemic Travel plan

At this time, booster shots are not required to be considered fully vaccinated.

Not fully vaccinated travellers or non-vaccinated travellers:

If you have not been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, our COVID-19 Pandemic Travel plan covers your COVID-19 related and non-related emergency medical costs, including trip interruption coverage.

Manulife still considers COVID-19 a Known Event, however you may qualify for a reimbursement of expenses under the Trip Cancellation plan if one of the following three events occurs:

  1. Your sickness (accompanied by a medical certificate) due to contracting COVID-19 that prevents you from travelling as planned.
  2. A positive COVID-19 test result (accompanied by a medical certificate) within 72 hours before your departure from home, which prevents you from travelling as planned.
  3. Your job loss as a result of the pandemic impact at your place of employment.
