Many countries require visitors to buy travel medical insurance so they do not absorb the financial burden of treating uninsured tourists who contract Covid-19. Generally, your policy must cover you for the entire length of your stay.

Some countries require you to buy travel medical insurance from the government. For example, visitors to the Bahamas are required to purchase the Bahamas Travel Visa, which includes coverage for Covid-related medical expenses. You can also purchase your own travel insurance policy to supplement the Bahamas Travel Visa coverage.
