As of March 20, Icelandic authorities were aware of eight people who were specifically infected in Ischgl, she wrote. that it was "unlikely" there was contagion in Tyrol.Three days later, a bartender at popular Ischgl après-ski bar Kitzloch tested positive. Experts say the spread traces back to Ischgl's "tightly packed bars and clubs" — Kitzloch in particular.

A published text message from a local authority to the bar's owner urged him to close the bar until the "grass had grown over the affair,""We visited the Kitzloch and it was rammed, with people singing and dancing on the tables," Ischgl vacationer Daren Bland told The Sun. "People were hot and sweaty from skiing and waiters were delivering shots to tables in their hundreds. You couldn't have a better home for a virus.

Authorities closed the bar on March 9 and all après-ski bars on March 11, but didn't shut down the resort until March 13. Austrian authorities have been under fire for what many believe is a slowed response that downplayed the virus. When the Kitzloch bartender tested positive, officials ordered further testing, the disinfection of the bar he worked at, and separation of employees, according to the statement.
