Brits among 96 skiers forced to quarantine in Austria
Austrian police have put 96 foreigners, including Britons, into mandatory quarantine after they were caught breaching Covid-19 restrictions by taking a skiing holiday.
They are suspected of using loopholes to stay at the St Anton am Arlberg resort in Austria’s Tyrol region. Some registered local addresses or said they were seeking work. Each could now face a fine of up to €2,180 (£1,921).
Austrian ski slopes remain open for locals, but not for foreigners.
Police said the foreigners included Danes, Swedes, Germans, Irish, Romanians, Poles and Australians. It is not yet clear how many British have been quarantined. All of them must also show coronavirus PCR tests.
The police checks took place at 44 hotels and chalets in the resort on Friday.
