Austrians return to slopes of former corona epicenter

It's been almost two years since COVID-19 spread through Europe from Ischgl. Since then, the Austrian ski resort has become an example of an overly careless approach to the virus.

The outbreak at Ischgl was Austria's biggest and helped spread the virus across Europe. Hundreds of Austrians were infected and thousands of foreign tourists say they were too as the virus found a breeding ground in crowded apres-ski bars.

The local authorities have been widely accused of responding too slowly as it is now clear the virus found a breeding ground in crowded apres-ski bars at various resorts and spread in Ischgl for a month before it was quarantined on March 13.
