Many commercial policyholders face challenges getting business interruption insurance payouts for supply chain losses from the coronavirus outbreak, as most policies require physical damage to trigger coverage. Some policies may cover virus-related losses or business interruptions caused by civil authority orders, but coverage is limited and policy language varies widely.

Coronavirus-related supply chain losses will test business interruption insurance coverage and policy language for many U.S. companies. You need to review your policies now and push brokers on any new endorsements that insurers propose, or risk being left uncovered.
