CAMDEN, N.J. — A New Jersey federal judge has awarded Sentinel Insurance Co. judgment on the pleadings in an orthodontics practice’s COVID-19 coverage action, ruling that the alleged losses fall within the policy’s virus exclusion.

Kugler of the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey explained that under the exclusion’s anti-concurrent clause, losses caused directly or indirectly by a virus are excluded from coverage, regardless of any other event in any other sequence that contributes to the loss.
