Emirates to give Covid-19 Insurance to passengers 😲

I actually wanted to write this article last week but I forgot so im sorry if I am a bit late on this news.

According to a statement by Emirates, It will cover its passengers for COVID-19 related medical expenses and quarantine costs when they travel on board Emirates, to and from the United Arab Emirates and around the world, free of charge. It may seem like a scam, but it is not. Together with this *free* insurance, there will also be compulsory tests for all inbound and transfer passengers. Emirates did this because they claimed that this will boost travel confidence and once again position Emirates and Dubai as aviation industry leaders.

Passengers can claim up to 150,000 euros in medical expenses and up to 100 euros per day for 14 days in quarantine costs, should they be diagnosed with Covid-19, according to the Dubai state media. The policy will go into immediate effect and remain in place until Oct 31, 2020. It is valid for 31 days from the moment an Emirates passenger flies the first sector of the journey.

Do you think that this is too good to be true?
