I got a quote from Pacific cross. It claimed to cover everything including corona up to a limit of three or ฿400,000. I am already in Thailand, it was not for a visa. But when I looked at coverage for a hospitalization for corona say three weeks in the hospital, with one week ICU, the total it would pay was US$1400. Far less than such a case would cost even in a government hospital. The cost per year was $1300. Total joke!

World Nomads will allow you to take insurance out as you travel as will One Cover, but I doubt either will allow coverage for pandemic related illness-check the fine print if that is what you are looking for. I saw today that some/possibly all British travel insurance companies are allowing one month extensions on travel insurance policies for Brits stranded due to Covid-19

I guess it depends what you are wanting it for ie if you are wanting it to cover covid-19 related illness or just regular insurance to cover hospital visits after a motorbike accident, gastro or other medical incident

One lady who broke her neck was rejected because reckless behavior wasn't covered. So if you're considering CV virus insurance and someone is willing to insure you for it, that can mean only 1 of 2 things. They'll get you some clause, like its not the correct strain, or no one gets hospitalized for CV.
