COVID-19 isn’t going away. In fact, experts say it will probably become endemic, which means it could flare up any time, anywhere. Fortunately, you can protect your next trip from such an event using membership based COVID evacuation services by COVAC GLOBAL.

To put it simply if you travel abroad, and you get COVID-19, you want an evacuation service to be able to get you back to your home city, with or without the need for hospitalisation. If you test COVID positive in an overseas country of your visit, your number one priority will be to get back to your home country (city), as it may not be a comforting idea to rely on COVID facilities you may or may not get access in the country of your visit.

“We were worried about getting stuck or having to be hospitalized before we got transported home – Covac Global is the only membership that could put our minds at ease.”
— Kirsten W. – Connecticut, Member since 2020

COVAC GLOBAL was created specifically to fill the gaps in existing insurances and other protection programs that won’t cover pandemic-related illness or contagious diseases. Among those that do include COVID-19 coverage, most will only pay for transport to a nearby, suitable medical facility (not back home) and/or only cover such expenses if it’s considered medically necessary—meaning that your condition is serious enough to warrant hospitalisation.

COVID infected passengers cannot be transported using commercial, private and charter flight operations due to Govt. health requirements, but medical transports to include Air-Ambulances are allowed and this is what is used by COVAC GLOBAL to evacuate it’s members in need.

COVAC GLOBAL is the first and only indemnified membership program that will fly you home should you contact COVID-19 while travelling abroad.

WHAT DO THEY DO DIFFERENTLY:
• Transport COVID-19 positive patients back to their home city from anywhere in the world. (They return travellers to their homes or to a local hospital in their home city, and not to the closest port of entry like some other insurance or membership based evacuation programs.)
• Arrange and pay for all transport costs to include ground and private aviation.
• Only requires a positive COVID-19 test and exhibition of one self-reported symptom.(including but not limit to: fatigue, headache, fever, or chills).
• The only program or coverage that does not require hospitalization or medical advice indicating transport is necessary.
