Insuring a pandemic like COVID-19

COVID-19 has sparked debate on the role of insurers in shouldering losses related to pandemics. In addition to the sickness-related impacts of the virus, government-imposed lockdowns have caused widespread business interruption. Insurers are promptly paying all legitimate claims, but COVID-19 has revealed gaps in coverage.

Our research series on pandemics and insurance investigates, in number terms, the capacities of insurers to absorb pandemic-related costs in health, life and business interruption, and feasible public-private protection solutions.
