Event cancellation insurance policies are designed to protect any event-related earnings or expenses should the event need to be cancelled. There are many reasons an event could be cancelled and it is important to understand exactly what your policy covers and what it does not. Policyholders who obtained a special event policy might have bought a policy for cancellations due to infectious or communicable diseases; however, after the SARS outbreak, many insurance companies have resisted them. Event cancellation insurance policies are different from other types of insurance in that company losses or some form of damage are not a necessity for the recovery.
Events ranging from professional sports, corporate events, concerts, food festivals, and more are being cancelled due to the corona virus.
