Information about cover offered by Go Walkabout travel insurance policies in relation to Coronavirus (Covid-19)

Coronavirus (COVID-19) is currently making unwanted headlines across the world, due to the unwelcome spread of this new and contagious infection, which started in the city of Wuhan, China, and has rapidly spread from there. The FCO (Foreign and Commonwealth Office) now advises British nationals against all but essential international travel due to the widespread nature of the epidemic. None of our policies would be valid if you travelled against the advice of the FCO and for this reason, we are not able to issue any new policies until the FCO classification changes.
