Americans planning to travel

abroad may be looking nervously as

coronavirus spreads to multiple coun-

tries and wondering how much protec-

tion they have if they want to change or

cancel their travel plans. They may

have questions about what’s covered if

something happens on their trip.

The most important thing to re-

member is that standard travel

insurance does not cover you if you de-

cide not to travel because of the

outbreak. Nor does the type of insur-

ance that comes with certain credit

cards. Travel insurance can cover you,

though, in case of a disruption while

you’re on your trip, such as a quaran-

tine period. But you’ll pay extra for a

policy that allows you to cancel be-

cause of coronavirus.

Travel insurance providers note

that it does not matter if the U.S. State

Department or the Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention advise Amer-

icans to reconsider travel to a country

or to not travel there. These advisories

do not invoke coverage for standard

travel insurance policy holders if they

decide to cancel or change their plans.

As the coronavirus outbreak has

disrupted international travel, airlines

have offered waivers that allow people

to cancel or change their flights with-

out the usual penalty. Cruise ship op-

erators have paid for passengers’

flights home and reimbursed them for

the cost of the cruise. Some hotel

chains are waiving cancellation fees.

Cancel-for-any-reason policies

Those who are booking travel now

may want to consider cancel-for-any-

reason insurance policies. According

to SquareMouth, a travel insurance

comparison site, such policies cost

40% more than standard policies and

will reimburse up to 75% of the insured

trip cost.

Those who choose this option must

purchase the policy within 14 to 21 days

of making the first payment for the trip

and must insure 100% of the trip cost.

For example, a standard travel in-

surance policy for a two-week, $5,000

trip might cost $137. To upgrade that

policy to cancel-for-any-reason would

cost $267, but a traveler could get back

as much as $3,750.

Though it’s more expensive and

doesn’t fully cover your travel costs,

this option could help travelers man-

age the unpredictability of the corona-

virus outbreak.

Disrupted en route

Two cruise ships, Holland Ameri-

ca’s MS Westerdam and Princess

Cruises’ Diamond Princess, made

headlines in recent weeks because of

the disruptions their passengers en-

dured. Multiple countries declined to

allow the Westerdam to dock because

of coronavirus concerns.

In “Find Your Path: Honor Your Body, Fuel Your

Soul, and Get Strong with the Fit52 Life,” Under-

wood (with help from her writing partner, Eve Ad-

amson) shares her fitness philosophy, called

“Fit52.”

While Underwood juggles her careers as a coun-

try singer, businesswoman and designer with

motherhood, she also maintains a healthful life-

style. That doesn’t mean being perfect every day,

she tells USA TODAY.

The book “looks at health as an overall balanced

approach to things and being good,” Underwood

says. “It’s more about what your week looks like

instead of trying so hard to be super-strict every

single day.”

To do this, she had to find her path and stick to

it. Now, she wants to help others do the same.

The book’s launch coincides with the debut of

Underwood’s app, fit52. And the Underwood fit-

ness empire goes beyond her two newest en-

deavors – she also has a line of fitness apparel,

CALIA, which she created with Dick’s Sporting

Goods.

“It all started with a love for health and fit-

ness and has blossomed into lots of things,”

she says. “I live and breathe and sleep and

eat all of this,” she adds, noting that she’s

dressed head-to-toe in CALIA at that very

moment.

In the book, Underwood shares

healthful food options, recipes and jour-

naling practices in addition to her Fit52

workout program, which involves pick-

ing from a deck of cards to determine

exercises.

“In the book, we tell people about ex-

ercises and give everyone the tools that

they need. We mapped out different

paths for people to choose – can be be-

ginner, intermediate, advanced.”

The fit52 app is an extension of the

book, she says. It’s engineered to make

sic. It’s focused on one of the multifaceted star’s other passions:

fitness and healthy living.
