COVID-19 treatment is not covered under Section 80DDB, as that section is limited to a specific list of critical illnesses defined by Rule 11DD. However, premiums for COVID-19 health insurance can be claimed under Section 80D, and specific tax exemptions apply to financial assistance received for COVID-19 treatment.
