KUALA LUMPUR, June 8 -- AIA Malaysia has offered Malaysians a COVID-19 vaccine complications cover and COVID-19 diagnosis cover at no additional cost.

“They can activate their cover between June 3 and June 14, 2021 through AIA Life Planners and once activated, they will be covered until Dec 31, 2021 or when the total claims limit reaches RM3 million, whichever comes first,” it said in a statement, today.

Meanwhile for free COVID-19 diagnosis cover, it provides a RM1,000 cash relief to support customers who are diagnosed with COVID-19 and are unable to continue working due to quarantine requirements, including home quarantine.

Additionally, it also covers death due to COVID-19 where a lump sum of RM5,000 (for new customer) and RM10,000 (for existing customer) will be paid.

“The cover is offered at no extra cost to AIA customers who have new life insurance/ family takaful/ Flex PA plans with AIA which take effect between June 1 and June 30, 2021.
