[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey guys, those wanting pools to open . Pools are not safe, according to our local Health Dep., because of fecal matter traces which may contain the virus.

Unless you have your own pool.[/quote]

That article is about indoor pools, did you even read it?[/quote]

CDC:

There is no evidence that the virus that causes COVID-19 can be spread to people through the water in pools, hot tubs, spas, or water play areas. Proper operation and maintenance (including disinfection with chlorine and bromine) of these facilities should inactivate the virus in the water.[/quote]

This just means they havent studied it.  Thry font have an answer.  I honestly dont worry about pools.  The locker rooms are what will make you sick.[/quote]

It's not true that it hasn't been studied.  WHO and other health organizations have been reporting studies about the effect of chlorine and other routine disinfectants (used in both swimming pools and in drinking water facilities) and their effect on covid-19 and other coronaviruses (as enveloped viruses, they are sensitive to these and killed upon exposure).  I agree about the risk of locker room and other human to human transmission near the water however.[/quote]
