About

This one-hour, two-minute presentation discusses a SARS-CoV-2 outbreak at a ski resort in Ischgl, Austria, that initiated the spread of SARS-CoV-2 throughout Austria and Northern Europe. Thousands of infections can be traced back to Ischgl. In a recent study by Medical University of Innsbruck investigators, 42.4 percent of those living in Ischgl were shown to be carrying the new coronavirus antibodies, indicating they had been infected in the COVID-19 pandemic. This is part of the NIH COVID-19 Scientific Interest Group Lecture Series.
