The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has confirmed that swimming pool water cannot transmit corona virus, but rather the risk is increasing around the pool.
The US Federal Emergency Management Agency said: “There is no evidence that COVID-19 can be spread by water in swimming pools, hot tubs, or health resorts. Proper maintenance and disinfection of pools can help kill the virus or disrupt its operation. It can help Chlorine by itself in disinfection of pool water. "
The agency noted that it is important to know that the risk of infection with the Corona virus increases in communities. When swimming pools are used in the gym or other public places, people are more likely to become infected with the virus before they reach chlorinated water, as the infected person may contaminate the surfaces surrounding the pool. When entering and exiting the pool, we may touch different things, such as the door handle or the card scanner, the cabinet, or even the seat.
