A member asked:
How long does the novel coronavirus survive in seawater? is it safe to swim in the ocean if there are other people around swimming too?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Salt water: It is not yet known whether the covid virus remains viable in sea water, but I question the likelihood of transmission in such a markedly diluted environment. Public health experts can advise you best about this.
