Covid-19 Holiday / Travel Insurance

With the opening of borders in Europe becoming more widespread and the UK Government advice about international travel still being as the below I have been wondering about insurance cover and if existing policies are valid and if so would it depend on an agreement, in the event of any claim, between the insurance company and me what is an "essential" journey. Please tell me am I worrying about nothing.

Hey there... the EHIC scheme, the European Health Insurance Card, is still valid this year. So that's one thing. Not sure about your insurance.

It's all here. Basically talk to your insurer first, but don't be surprised if they confirm no cover.

As far as I have found. Until the Governments travel advice changes you are not covered, unless you can prove it is an essential trip, to your Insurer. Your vehicle insurance may also be invalidated.
