Swine Flu and the Well Prepared Taveler

Travel insurance may offer the well prepared traveler invaluable protection at times of pandemic or epidemic health alerts such as in the news these days. According to the World Health Organization, many more countries beyond Mexico are now officially reporting cases of Swine Flu. Countries such as Austria, Canada, Germany, Israel, New Zealand, Spain and the United Kingdom have all reported laboratory-confirmed cases. While WHO does not advise travel restriction, travelers who are ill might consider delaying international travel or should seek medical care at the first signs of any flu-like symptoms.
