The aviation sector does not put public health first, but opts to fuel the demand for airline tickets as soon as possible. Travel to risk destinations is already discouraged by the orange travel advice for these areas. Air travel is organized to destinations with code orange which means the travelers seem to ignore the strictly necessary character that should be the starting point when traveling to destinations with code orange.
According to Corendon is the statement that health insurance cover medical costs abroad up to a maximum of the rate in the Netherlands, even if a treatment is related to the corona virus, regardless of the applicable travel advice. A statement that has invariably led to parliamentary questions since the Ministers have been telling us for months that reality is different.
who is right in this matter?
The Minister of Corendon, what truth should we follow as a benevolent citizen? According to Minister Cora van Nieuwenhuizen, an orange travel advice for an area means that unnecessary trips to that area are not recommended. It is the responsibility of the traveler to decide whether a trip is necessary or not. The health insurer usually reimburses healthcare costs abroad up to the Dutch rate.
“This advice does not seem to be specifically based on the health situation in the Turkish resorts; rather, it seems to be the result of the policy to keep the travel advice in orange for all countries outside Europe - with the exception of the Caribbean countries within our own kingdom. ”, says Corendon, who downplays the travel advice for Turkey with this comment.
For travelers coming to the Netherlands from a country whose travel advice is colored orange or red due to health reasons, urgent advice applies up to 14 days at home quarantine upon arrival in the Netherlands. As stated in the letter from the Minister of Infrastructure and Water Management and the Minister of Health, Welfare and Sport dated 12 June, passengers on all inbound and outbound flights must fill in a statement with questions about health complaints that are appropriate for COVID-19. It does not matter whether it is a resident of the Netherlands who returns from a trip in that country or not. The fact that someone was staying in the country in question is decisive.
