Another thought. When returning from holiday, will departing passengers be given a temperature check before flying? Imagine the outcome if your holiday is over but you can't fly back. Who pays for the extended stay?

Whilst this is only one company that have added it to their policy i'm sure others will soon follow. As stated at the very bottom of the article coronavirus is going to be with us for some time so there is a need for it to be added to insurance. But as you've pointed out Gurnard there is a bunch of discussions re: Coronavirus that need to be had to put this cover in place and they probably looking at what other governments are doing for any travellers.
