Private jets, disaster bunkers and hiring personal doctors: How the super-rich are splashing the cash to prepare for coronavirus

‘The super-rich are splashing their cash on private jets, disaster bunkers and private doctors as they prepare to self-isolate amid a growing coronavirus crisis.

Wealthy people are arranging to flee to overseas homes or hide in underground bunkers in countries which have so-far avoided significant outbreaks of the virus.

Doctors in private clinics have also reported a ‘huge demand from very wealthy people asking if they can pay for private testing’ for COVID-19 after the NHS said it would only screen people who have a ‘high chance’ of infection.

Those at risk include people who have been in close contact with a confirmed case or who have recently travelled to a high-risk nation, such as China, Italy, South Korea and Iran.

Some have even hired private doctors and nurses to treat them and their families should they become infected with COVID-19 – which has killed 4,600 people worldwide amid 126,000 global cases.
