TORONTO, Dec. 3, 2020 /CNW/ - Many trends have emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic; people are travelling less, working from home and spending more time online. Intact Financial Corporation (TSX: IFC) is offering enhanced protection to give customers working from home increased liability and home coverage, the option to add identity theft coverage and cyber protection, at a discount, as well as free access to mental health and well-being programs for a limited time.

"During a time where so many are working from home, customers are searching for added value and thinking about their well-being," said Louis Gagnon, President, Canadian Operations, Intact Financial Corporation.
