Austria imposed a quarantine covering the entire Alpine ski region of Tyrol after lighter measures failed to stem coronavirus contaminations from spreading.

The lockdown impacts three-quarters of a million people in 279 towns that dot the peaks and valleys of its western province. The move became necessary after Tyrol’s popular international resorts became an epicenter of contagion, infecting visitors who subsequently spread the coronavirus as far as Iceland and Norway. Now, police checkpoints are barring entrance by non-residents and citizens are confined to their homes.
