And of course that same scenario might apply to any number of other countries around the world.
should be more psychological really, the more affected a country the more hesitant to change measures, and as we see France, Italy and Spain are the most hesitant to reduce measures so are the destinations I’m most hesitant to head to, even when infections go really low.

Perhaps call and ask if your current policy can just roll over? Worth a try.

Best bet is to renew with same provider to have continuous cover.

I purchased my renewal on 12/3/20, and according to Virgin Money's own website right now, they have categorised Covid-19 as a known event from 13/3, so hopefully I'm covered for my unrecoverable expenses. I do believe it would be fairly unethical for insurance companies to not pay out because your renewal date is after the pandemic broke out. But still expect them to try every trick in the book that they can.

All BSL, GVA and ZRH services in June, July, August, September and October zeroed out.

SOF and LAX too in October

Could this be a mistake / glitch?

And I expect that to roll over to the rest of the European destinations in due course.

Does that mean you cannot buy any tickets? Because I just checked and they are still on sale.

This is an utter disaster should all services be cancelled (not just zeroed)

How long after zeroed out are the flights cancelled?

It has been ranging from 1-2 days to 6-7 days.

The cancellations appear to be in waves, likely to help manage the inbound call volume to the contact centres.

Probably a glitch on your computer or a mistake that was immediately corrected.

I could see and purchase LHR-ZRH flights for July on BA.com

Looks like tickets are still being sold on random dates, so could indeed be a glitch?

The source for the zeroed out services is EF

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.
