An outbreak of COVID-19 in Mexico has been traced back to 400 travelers who recently chartered planes to Vail.  Bloomberg reports that the Colorado ski destination — and now, a COVID-19 hotspot — is known for being popular among Mexican skiers.

Several travelers who returned from Vail have already tested positive for the new coronavirus, including three high-profile businessmen.

Eagle County, where Vail is located, has 39 cases of COVID-19.
