The growing number of H1N1 flu cases in the mainland has triggered a rush for insurance products as more and more people are trying to mitigate exposure and health risks.
The demand for H1N1 insurance products started to grow since last month after reports that the number of people affected by the disease has started to soar globally.
Sales of H1N1 insurance products by the Sichuan branch of Ping An Insurance Co of China rose 30 times in October compared with the average sales volume from June to September.
