News today had revealed that a £5,000 fine is to be introduced for anyone in the UK trying to travel abroad without a good reason. Travel Insurance Expert at Confused.com Jac Morris says:
“Our research found that over half (53%) of people said they would consider going overseas if the government said it was safe to do so, but with the introduction of a hefty fine the reality of holidays abroad is looking bleak.”
“With almost a third (30%) of people already confused about how the coronavirus could impact their travel insurance, this new law creates additional worry for holidaymakers looking to plan for the summer.
“As plans are constantly changing, it’s important to check providers’ guidance before making a purchase or claim. We’ve created a guide to offer some advice and outline the travel policies from our travel insurance providers to provide some clarity.”
