A ski village dubbed 'Ibiza of the Alps' has been blamed for the spread of hundreds of coronavirus cases across Europe. Ischgl in Tyrol, Austria, is being blamed for cases that have spread throughout the country as well as to Norway, Germany and Iceland.
The problem first started on March 1 when 15 passengers on a flight from the region reportedly tested positive for the disease by Icelandic officials.
Skiiers from Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Germany who had been to the region were also identified as confirmed cases, according to reports.
Fears mounted surrounding the potential of them having infected hundreds more as they returned home. Austrian authorities reportedly denied there was a problem.
