30 days waiting initial period is extremely critical in this product. Though it has been norm for all retail health product, especially in corona related claims it mitigates risk of anti-selection. As per observation across the world initially customers may be asymptomatic post having Corona virus infection and typically symptoms will show after 14 days (incubation period). Also patients who have been advised Corona disease treatment have been asked for 14 days' self-quarantine for post recovery, hence 30 days waiting period is bare minimum which follows.
For Claim to become payable, the date of diagnostic test report confirming the presence of Corona Virus should be after 30 days from 1st inception of the policy.
