Insurance information for private and corporate customers
Tip: If you have not taken out travel insurance, contact your travel agent or the airline to find out whether appropriate cover or compensation is provided. If the trip was paid for by credit card, the credit card contract will often provide cover for events of this kind.
Corporate customers – information on loss of earnings

The basic rule is: Employees are entitled to daily sickness benefits if they are ill. This means that SWICA will grant the entitlement to benefits – in addition to other illness-related absences – if individuals exhibit symptoms that match those of coronavirus (COVID-19) or are similar to them or if it is confirmed that the individual in question has contracted the virus. SWICA assumes that a doctor will issue a certificate of incapacity for work in these cases. However, SWICA will grant a 14-day deferral.
On the other hand, there is no entitlement to benefits if employees have to go into quarantine on the instructions of the authorities or a company. In these cases, employees are not deemed to be ill or incapable of work.
If you have any further questions, please contact your usual contact person at SWICA.
