General Insurance Article - Statement from ABI and BMA on insurance and COVID19

 The ABI and BMA have said: Having discussed the issue in detail, the BMA and ABI are clear that there should be no detriment to health care workers and no one should be discouraged from having a test. Each application for life insurance and income protection will be assessed on an individual basis, regardless of profession, and focussed on the person’s health and severity of any symptoms at the time. A positive test for COVID (either a PCR or antibody test) should not delay an application as long as the individual has recovered and been back at work for the required period.

 You can find below the exchange of letters between the BMA and the ABI.
