With the pandemic still raging on, there’s really no better time than to get any and all protection against this dreaded virus than now. And while getting inoculated is surely one way to go about it, it’s also best if you have some sort of Personal or Medical Insurance that would cover you if and when you do succumbed to it. Complex insurance coverages at a time like this could be daunting but that’s where easy and affordable ones come in handy — like the ones you can get from your PayMaya app.
