Apology Issued by Ischgl Tourism Association to Affected Individuals

In an interview with the weekly newspaper "Die Zeit", Andreas Steibl, the managing director of the Paznaun-Ischgl Tourism Association, expressed regret over the role that the Austrian ski resort played in the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic in Europe.

The outbreak in Ischgl, which occurred in the spring, was a hotspot of the virus in Europe. Steibl sympathized with anyone who fell ill due to the outbreak, acknowledging that they knew much less about the virus in March than they do now.

The interview was conducted to discuss the role of Ischgl in the spread of the pandemic. Steibl stated that in March, the world was not prepared for the Covid-19 virus, as previously stated.

The measures to combat the pandemic in the Paznaun-Ischgl region in the summer of 2020 were developed and implemented by local health authorities and tourism officials, in coordination with regional government agencies responsible for public health and crisis management. Steibl assured that they have learned from the experiences of last winter and acted accordingly.

The interview was published with a photograph of coronavirus testing, shared by dts Nachrichtenagentur. The photograph served as a stark reminder of the ongoing battle against the virus.

As the world continues to grapple with the pandemic, Steibl's comments serve as a reminder of the importance of learning from past mistakes and taking appropriate action to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone.
