Cover starts from €15 (£13.50) for €3,000 worth of healthcare costs.


Policies are available online, as well as from certain airlines and at airport kiosks.


Turkey has also launched insurance packages covering costs arising from a stay having to be extended owing to a positive coronavirus test.


This cover stars from €10 (£9) for 15 days, covering up to €100 (£90) accommodation costs a day for a maximum of 15 days.


According to Turkey’s Tourism Promotion and Development Agency, visitors staying at hotels with more than 50 rooms can get tested for Covid on request.
