Manulife still considers COVID-19 a Known Event, however you may qualify for a reimbursement of expenses under the Trip Cancellation plan if one of the following three events occurs:
- Your sickness (accompanied by a medical certificate) due to contracting COVID-19 that prevents you from travelling as planned.
- A positive COVID-19 test result (accompanied by a medical certificate) within 72 hours before your departure from home, which prevents you from travelling as planned.
- Your job loss as a result of the pandemic impact at your place of employment.
