THE big problem is that all foreigners, whether coming from green or red countries, must present an insurance certificate in acceptable form covering all COVID expenses for 14 days after arrival. So far as I can gather, there is no such insurance available, there is no such certificate available. Only resolution would be if some state insuror starts offering the insurance at borders/airports. I've come across no sign of that yet.

(Of course it's also conceivable the insurance requirement in practice is being winked at, as some previous Ukraine insurance requirements were often winked at. Not that anyone in their right mind would fly to Kiev just to find out.)
My regular health insurance covers me at its regular rates outside the US. I have my insurance card and enrollment confirmation paperwork, as well as policy coverage booklet We received a communication confirming COVID-19 is covered as any other condition (plus I think whatever the no-copay provisions from the CARES Act were for testing or whatever it was). I know that US health insurance policies frequently don't provide such coverage, though I am aware through friends of a few others that do - sometimes at lower rates.

Glad to at least see some different approaches being explored by some countries, though.
