Whether they’re mainstream or not I have no idea, but Staysure, who claim to have been voted the UKs best travel insurance provider for the last four years at the British Travel Awards (whatever they are), emailed me recently to say that they would provide for COVID-19 if contracted while on holiday, though not if contracted before travel, and offered 15 months cover for the price of 12! I imagine the chances of catching it and it being bad enough to manifest itself while on a one or two week holiday are low, so it’s window dressing more than anything. But cover would be appear to be available. The bigger issue is that FCO advice is not to travel unless essential, and many polices don’t provide cover if you travel when the FCO advise against it, COVID or no COVID.
