Tips on Air Travel

Coronavirus health insurance for foreigners in USA

Most countries have opened their borders now for international tourism. Unfortunately, even years after the pandemic started in China, Covid is again making a comeback with new immune-evasive variants. The Covid situation is made even more complicated with influenza and the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) which is also spreading across the globe. Though there is a risk with the new variants, authorities have relaxed their strict controls thanks to improved vaccination coverage.

However, while Covid appears to be less virulent and no longer as dangerous thanks to a large percentage of the population having vaccinations and booster shots, Covid still remains a threat and disrupter for travelers due to its many different sub variants. Covid can still result in significant medical expenses either due to being quarantined in a foreign country or needing medical care in a hospital. This reinforces the importance of having the best international travel insurance, especially when coming to the US, given the high cost of US health care.
