Novel Coronavirus Latest Advice

The current worldwide epidemic of the Wuhan Novel Coronavirus is a constantly changing situation, therefore, we would advise all of our customers traveling to or from an affected country, to keep up to date with current advice via:

As of the 29th January 2020, the FCDO have advised against all but essential travel to mainland China. Most UK insurers are excluding travel insurance cover for China, this is a standard industry response to an outbreak of this nature. If you are travelling to any other country affected, please check the latest advice before you travel.

If you have recently returned from an affected country and you begin to display symptoms of the virus, such as high temperature, dry cough or shortness of breath, you’re advised to call 111 immediately and stay in your home. Further information can be found here: NHS
