Experts say Kovid Matt Bowen will stop the Italian vacation and help with travel insurance

Buffalo (WKBW) – It must have been a lifelong journey. An Italian adventure for 7 news sports director Matt Bov and several members of his family. Those plans were quickly cut short.

“Thirteen-day trip to Italy, three-day trip to Italy, and ten-day detention,” Bov told 7 News Anchor Jeff Russo.

At the beginning of the journey, Kovid Mt. Positive test In a 100-square-foot hotel room in Florence, limited Wi-Fi and mother isolation are required.

“It’s a word you can tie,” Matt said, hearing his mother laugh behind him. “I don’t know if it’s the best word.” Matt’s mother, Teresa, shouted in the background, “I don’t like you more.”

“I’m ready to disappear,” Matt added.

In an effort to save things, Matt’s wife and the rest of the group continued on to Venice, leaving him to recover with his mother. The two had to finish their Italian quarantine detention and return to Buffalo. The only saving grace in all of this. Travel insurance.

“It seems worth it,” Matt said. “We expect to return a class.”

Renee Pilley, AAA’s senior travel consultant at WNY, said travel insurance has become very common since the outbreak began.

“Ninety percent of the people who sit with us are very interested in getting insurance coverage and cost from their start,” Pili said.

According to the US Travel Insurance Association, the cost of travel insurance is based on three factors.

• where are you going.
• Duration of the trip
• Age of policyholder

According to Business Insider and Insurance Agency, the average travel policy is $ 248, or about 10% of your total travel expenses.

“It’s medical-based insurance. It covers moderate injuries, illness and death,” Pili said. “It can cover travel delays, travel disruptions, luggage delays, and emergency medical and dental care.”

Many travel insurance policies cover Kovid-19, including medical expenses and accommodation if you become ill while traveling.

Unexpectedly, it was a safety net, and one of our friends, Matt, was happy even though he was missing.

“I think this could happen to anyone. It happened during our visit. It was a tour team that did the same thing a week ago.” “If you want to make the trip feel like travel insurance is definitely worth it.”
