Thats great to hear may have to bite bullet and just keep renewing even if means paying a year for nothing.

also just read on Martin's email

6) CONFIRMED: Annual travel insurance should cover you if you renewed after coronavirus hit - unless you switched firm.
regulator the Financial Conduct Authority has now confirmed to us that if you had an annual policy before mid-March and renewed with the same insurer since, you SHOULD still be covered for coronavirus issues as long as you were covered before you renewed. Insurers we've spoken to, including the AA, Direct Line and Leisure Guard, have confirmed this. So if you're rejected, go to the Financial Ombudsman and argue the firm isn't following "standard industry practice".
