COVID-19 and DAN Membership
The novel Coronavirus outbreak has officially been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). This is a rapidly evolving situation.
Under these circumstances, DAN recommends to strictly follow the indications provided by the local authorities of your country of residence. We can all play an important role in stopping the spread of the virus!
Our assistance team remains available 24/7, via our regional emergency contacts and international emergency contacts, for urgent medical questions and to direct you to appropriate care. However, if you decide to travel against the guidelines issued by your Government, you are putting yourself at excessive risk and DAN Southern Africa's insurance may not cover claims caused by Covid-19. Though we cannot ensure coverage of specialised medical care or repatriation expenses, we will always guarantee coverage of the first medical assessment to ensure the stabilisation of the patient.
On the other hand, if you have travelled abroad before your Government issued restrictive measures, cover stays active unless your government provides early repatriation from the high risk area which you are expected to accept. In any case, we invite you to contact the relevant authorities and follow their advice on safety procedures.
Please also remember that DAN provides dive medical cover, and does not cover trip cancellation.
As a general recommendation, remember to update yourself daily on COVID-19 and follow the World Health Organisation (WHO) advice regarding health.
For more information on your membership plan, please contact us at mail@dansa.org
