higher risk as they stay at the forefront to help others at the height of the
coronavirus pandemic. With this Special
COVID-19 Benefit with Personal Accident cover
, we hope to reduce any
anxiety or mental stress that our healthcare personnel or their families may
feel as our nation continues in our fight against the coronavirus,” said Yip
Kim Chee, interim CEO of Etiqa Insurance Singapore.
