You should have had a renewal notice by now, and that should clarify whether a renewal will continue cover or not. I have a policy with Coverwise that is underwritten by AXA, and I renewed in March because the renewal notice had the following wording "
Following extensive consultation with our insurer, AXA, we are pleased to inform you that all trips you currently have booked are covered for cancellation that is both necessary and reasonable due to coronavirus (COVID-19). " It will be worth a phone call to AXA I think.
