Authorities in Spain’s popular Canary Islands have signed an insurance policy to guarantee tourists that they will have all their expenses paid in case of a coronavirus incident.

The Atlantic archipelago is the first Spanish territory to offer this type of insurance, which will cover repatriation, medical expenses and quarantine, if someone falls ill with Covid-19.

The policy covers tourists both Spanish and foreign in any of the eight Canary Islands – Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro and La Graciosa.

The only condition is that one must not knowingly be aware of having Covid-19 before arrival, the Tourism Ministry said in a statement.

The agreement has been signed by a representative from Canary Islands Tourism and AXA Insurance..
