Germany is seeking an agreement with EU countries to keep ski resorts closed until early January, in an attempt to curb the spread of coronavirus.
"I will say this openly that it won't be easy, but we will try," Chancellor Angela Merkel said after speaking to Germany's regional leaders on Tuesday.Some of the early European coronavirus hotspots were at ski resorts, helping spread infections across the continent.Italy's prime minister has already backed delaying the start of the ski season, but has stressed the need for a European solution.
"If Italy decided to shut down all its ski lifts without any support from France, Austria and the other countries, then Italian tourists would risk going abroad and taking the contagion back home," he told the La7 channel earlier this week. Austria, however, has voiced concern over the plan, with the country's finance minister saying that if the EU forced ski areas to remain closed, "then they will have to pay for it".
