Outbreak Extra Expense: What is it?
Outbreak Extra Expense provides a per day limit of insurance triggered by a covered suspension of a business premises caused by a wide variety of contagions, including viruses, bacteria, and mold and/or a workplace violence event. This policy is not a coverage for general quarantines or shutdowns.
OEE is not business interruption—there is no coverage grant in this form that claims to indemnify lost revenues or profits.

Outbreak Extra Expense: How it Works
Three Critical Elements:
Covered Suspension “public health official”
Covered Location “operational premises”
Covered Cause Contagion(s)
Covering your world one risk at a timeCovering your world one risk at a timeCovering your world one risk at a timeCovering your world one risk at a time
Order of Operations
Closure of an “operational premises” by a “public health official” is absolutely critical in triggering the policy.
No other “type” of closure is covered except as provided for in the Workplace Violence coverage component.

Public Health Official
“Public Health Official” -means a person working under the direction and with the authority of a governmental health organization and who delivers a notice of “Suspension” to your “Operational Premises.”
“Public Health Official” does not include any other governmental authority, political office or official, or public safety or law enforcement personnel, except when a covered homicide, suicide, or workplace violence incident occurs.

Operational Premises “Operational Premises” means only that part of the premises
you exclusively own, rent or occupy where you regularly conduct your business and does not include:
Any common areas; Any common facilities, including but not limited to heating,
ventilation and air conditioning systems, insofar as those facilities do not originate from your “Operational Premises”; and
restrooms, hallways, elevators, service areas, lobbies, sidewalks, parking areas, or any routes of ingress or egress.

Operational Premises
Why the narrow definition of Operational Premises?
-Aggregation Risk
-Rate Development

Contagion~Fire
The premises specific nature of the coverage is similar to a “fire” coverage. When you think of a virus or contagion---think of a fire…
To wit: If a fire is not on the insureds premises—it is most often unlikely that coverage under a fire policy reponds.
Simply put—Outbreak Extra Expense responds (per triggers) when the contagion (fire)
is ON the INSURED’s premises—as defined in the policy. (Not as defined in ANY OTHER policy)

Exclusions We will not cover any loss caused or contributed to by or
resulting in whole or in part from any one or more of the following, regardless of any other cause or event that contributes concurrently or in any sequence to the loss
1. Viral Hemorrhagic Fever; 2. Anthrax; 3. Sarin; 4. Smallpox; 5. Fungus except as provided for in Section II, C.
In a building—each office area is an “operational premises”. However, the building is an “operational premises” only for the building owner.
In an owner-occupied building the coverage includes the entire building and the premises.
If the public health official closes the building, coverage is triggered solely for building owner.
If the public health official closes any individual insured operational premises-due to covered cause, coverage responds.
If building is closed due to covered cause emanating from insured premises—both policies trigger.
