Can the virus live in water? if so, for how long?

Not likely: The CDC is allowing pools and beaches to reopen. They want you to take a shower before going into the water. The pools have chlorine in them that kills bacteria. So if you want to go swimming, wear eye googles, shower and enjoy the summer fun.
