Combat COVID-19 Sub Variant JN.1 with Insurance

Zopper Team Industry Talk December 21st, 2023
COVID-19 Sub Variant JN.1

COVID-19 Sub Variant JN.1: Technology-driven solutions can help Indians combat the latest Covid variant with confidence and by taking hygiene precautions more seriously. An immediate requirement is to ensure comprehensive coverage for households and organisations as this is critical to avoid sudden and unplanned expenses. 

The latest statistics from the official website of the Union Health Ministry on December 20th shows that COVID-19 sub variant, which is referred to as JN.1, has caused 292 new infections and three fatalities in Kerala. Further, the total number of active cases are fast increasing as Tamil Nadu has also recorded new cases, as have other states such as Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana, Puducherry, Delhi, Gujarat, Punjab and Goa, among others. 

Be it life insurance or health insurance, the need for comprehensive coverage is now more essential than ever as the surge in cases is likely to continue in the coming days. 

It has also been reported that there is not enough data to confirm at present on the transmission of the latest variant. However, it is important to note that this will keep resurfacing across different places from time to time and therefore, staying masked will need to be a necessary precaution while moving around in public spaces.

 COVID-19 Sub Variant JN.1: Don’t Forget Travel Insurance 

At this time of the year when the Covid variant is making a comeback, it is essential to opt for travel insurance while booking airline tickets for your next trip. Reports indicate that the country’s aviation industry is expecting a stable cost-environment as there has been a boom in passenger traffic in the current fiscal year. For the airline industry, this marks an optimistic forecast for reducing the industry’s net losses significantly.

As a process, when you are booking air tickets online, don’t skip this important step. Technology enables bite-sized travel insurance on portals where you can book your travel tickets online. This is important as the surge in Covid cases may bring unforeseen or unexpected situations that can disrupt your travel plans. Remember, during the first wave of Covid-19 when the lockdown was strictly enforced, even weddings and marriage functions were cancelled across the country. 

The good news is that technology solutions can offer comprehensive coverage and faster claims processing. The rise of InsurTechs has been a blessing in disguise to bridge the critical protection gap in the current ecosystem. 

Notably, the digital experience offers a convenient space and a seamless experience to avail embedded and contextual solutions at affordable premiums. To explore Zopper’s relevant and agile InsurTech solutions, book a demo instantly!
