VIENNA (Reuters) - Crowds of possibly infected people fleeing ski resorts during Austria's worst coronavirus outbreak was the result of poor preparation by Chancellor Sebastian Kurz's government before he announced a quarantine there, a panel of experts said on Monday.
In an attempt to contain Austria's biggest cluster to date, at the ski resort of Ischgl, and another at the resort of St Anton, Kurz announced an immediate quarantine at both on March 13, but his government had not informed the local authorities that had to implement the measures.
