Air Canada has started to offer Covid-19 insurance for those who buy tickets from the airline between September 17 – October 31, 2020, and complete travel by April 12, 2021.
The insurance is valid on trips of 21 days or less. You must be a legal resident of Canada and not travel Level-4 countries categorized by the Canadian government.

Conclusion
You have to keep in mind that this is only Covid-19 related emergency insurance, and doesn’t cover anything else what may happen during your trip.
It does help if you are traveling to destinations that may require you to show specific Covid-19 related policy with higher than usual coverage (usually $100K or so).
