MANAMA: Bahrain National Insurance (bni) has launched a Covid-19 insurance cover aimed at offering employers the opportunity to ensure their employees financial and emotional well-being.

The firm’s assistant general manager Rayan Al Mahmood said, “This group policy is expected to be useful to various private and public establishments for covering Covid-19 related medical needs of their employees. It will also be beneficial for various categories of frontline workers as groups. While most firms plan for emergencies that impact business continuity, the Covid-19 pandemic has caught many off guard.”

“Various benefits are offered under this policy, such as; should employees be positively diagnosed with Covid-19, they would receive a one-off amount that could help alleviate any immediate financial worries and provide them with some comfort throughout their treatment and recovery process and if employees need medical care due to Covid-19 and are admitted to a hospital, the policy will offer private hospitalisation and cover the expenses,” he added.
