A member asked:
I have a pool at home and just want to invite a few friends. we plan to social distance but i want to know it safe to be in a salt water swimming pool together during this covid-19 outbreak? does it make a difference: salt or chlorine water?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Water and COVID 19: At this point, there is no evidence that COVID 19 is a waterborne disease. Chemically treated pools contain chlorine and other chemicals that kill the virus. Even if it is a salt-water pool it isn't spread by water. But, COVID 19 can still be spread by people who are close to one another.
