My family and I are planning to travel overseas in June and was wondering if anyone know which Credit Card has travel protection in case our flight is cancelled because I/or my family member test positive for Covid and are not allowed to board the flight.
I do have a 28 degree, Westpac Altitude MasterCard and a standard CBA MasterCard.
Thank you
UPDATE: I have just found this link from 28 degree card. If you think it will cover the loss of the tickets and/or accomodations for your overseas trip when you are not allowed to board the flight due to Covid, it may help with many other people in their decision.

    Highly doubt any travel insurance would cover this anyway.

    Travelling is very risky currently for this very reason right now.

    You won’t find cover for this

      A few definitely do. It’s about twice as much, but it’s there.

    Plenty do. Most purchased travel insurance doesn't or it's very limited.

  I recently bought CoverMore for a trip early next year.

  And while I ended up with “Unlimited” Cover for everything (realistically a $40k trip) including cancellation.

  But if we had to cancel the whole thing due to Covid (getting it and can’t commence, or government etc.) the max we would get is $5k.

  Note this is separate from getting sick from it and bring admitted to hospital as that is covered.

  May be live in bubble for a week before boarding the ✈️.

    More than a week I think. Maybe 2 weeks

      Basically enough to escape the RAT test is a few days. The "isolation" period will, many people test negative before this.

  Similar to this question, any suggestions for which policies cover trip delays due to having to self-isolate due to being a close contact?
