Coronavirus & Swimming Pools & Spas

According to the CDC there is no evidence that COVID-19 can be spread to humans through the use of pools and hot tubs. Proper operation, maintenance, and disinfection (e.g., with chlorine and bromine) of pools and hot tubs should remove or inactivate the virus that causes COVID-19.

However the management and owners of premises must take necessary precautions and making sure to conduct daily testing of the pool water for pH and disinfectant levels / concentration. Furthermore ensuring the water quality meets to the local government bodies.
