Spanish term or phrase: (...)cobertura frente a COVID y a las posibles consecuencias de la enfermedad.
Buenas tardes colegas,
Según lo que investigué "infection" es, en general, aceptable cuando hablamos de enfermades causadas por virus. En este caso me pregunto si es técnicamente más acertado traducir la palabra "enfermedad" como "ilness", "disease" o "infection" teniendo en cuenta su procedencia virósica. La fuente es una entrevista a un CEO sobre la cobertura de este virus en Argentina.

Muchas gracias,
Sole

coverage relating to COVID and potential consequences of the disease.
Explanation:
Not sure if the insurance is to cover COVID-related health issues or other non-medical issues related to COVID, but this would work in either case. I'd go with "disease" over "illness".

agree  Taña Dalglish: Yes, "disease" is what is being banded around, having done no less than 5 COVID-related articles this month! The other one is "contagion"! LOL! Not suggesting that the whole issue is funny at all! Very serious business here!

agree  Joshua Parker: Yes, coverage against, and "disease" (the "coronavirus disease") definitely seems to be most common, based on EN texts I've been working on/with this past month.
