Given, the current global situation, offering a cover for COVID-19 was the need of the hour and we are glad that SpiceJet shares this vision with us, especially now that domestic travel has been opened. The product covers not just hospitalization expenses including ICU Rent & Room Rent but also Pre/Post Hospitalization & Ambulance Charges for a positively tested COVID-19 patient.
