I'm afraid no it doesn't solve the Travel insurance problem -
What you are quoting above is about Cover that is supplied
if the pax are already away on their Hols and then an FCO advice comes into force -
Nothing to do with advance bookings or imminent upcoming travel, which is the problem now with Jet2 and TUI basically now cancelling Portugal (except FNC) and Turkey for the rest of the S20 season which included the last high season peak bookings of the OCT Half term which is a big loss of cash £££ to Tour Operators.
The only places left to visit for the remainder of S20 package holiday on the 'safe to go-list' is something like CFU, RHO, ATH a few other Greece airports, and Italy.

In a statement, Jet2 said: "Due to the current government travel advice, we have taken the decision to extend the suspension of flights and holidays to the Canary Islands (Tenerife, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura and Gran Canaria) up to and including October 31st. "For bookings due to travel to Spain & the Canary Islands from 1st November onwards, we will provide an additional update once we receive further update from the government.
