Are deaths due to coronavirus covered by life insurance policies?

It is reasonable to assume that a global health crisis like the coronavirus would have some impact on your life insurance policy acceptance and premiums, if you are currently in the application process stage.
 
The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the coronavirus or COVID-19 a pandemic. The virus has spread to all corners of the world, infecting almost 2 lakh people and killing close to 8,500. In India (at the time of publishing this story), 147 people have tested positive for coronavirus and three people have died, according to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
 
So, now the question rises, will a life insurance policy cover the death of a policyholder due to COVID-19? Also, will you be able to get a life insurance policy after contracting the virus?

There are two types of financial risks that need to be protected against – untimely death and old age. The untimely death of a breadwinner places a family at a risk for future livelihood expenses and during retirement years the income-generating capacity of an individual reduces. Thus protecting future income is very critical.
