Sep 18, 2020 | 2:48 PM

If you fly with WestJet out of Saskatchewan, you now qualify for free COVID-19 insurance.

Earlier this week, both WestJet and Air Canada announced they would offer the insurance across the country – except in Saskatchewan.

Both airlines cited the province’s regulatory requirements.

WestJet says after working with its provider TuGo and Saskatchewan insurance regulators, it is now able to ensure residents of Saskatchewan are included in its coverage.

The insurance includes COVID-19-related emergency medical and hospital costs, as well as quarantine accommodation costs.
