Important Information by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) regarding COVID-19
What are the symptoms of COVID-19?
“Patients with COVID-19 display mild to severe respiratory illness with symptoms of:
• Fever
• Cough
• Shortness of breath”
How does COVID-19 spread?
“The virus that causes COVID-19 probably emerged from an animal source, but is now spreading from person to person. The virus is thought to spread mainly between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet) through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It also may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads. Learn what is known about the spread of newly emerged coronaviruses at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/transmission.html.”
Can the COVID-19 virus spread through pools and hot tubs?
“There is no evidence that COVID-19 can be spread through the use of pools and hot tubs. Proper operation, maintenance, and disinfection (e.g. with chlorine or bromine) of pools and hot tubs should remove or inactivate the virus that causes COVID-19.”
Following information provided by CDC and EPA it is recommended that pool and hot tub operators should diligently follow proper pool maintenance practices:
• Ensure that your pool or hot tub continuously maintains a free available chlorine residual of 1-4 ppm or for bromine a 2-5 ppm residual, with an EPA registered sanitizer. Follow label directions for proper use.
• Operate your pump at least 8-12 hours per day to assure proper circulation and filtration.
• Disinfect surfaces around the pool with an EPA registered disinfectant hard surface cleaner to prevent transmission of the virus through touching of contaminated surfaces.
• Do not swim if you show symptoms of being sick. Follow guidance by CDC, Public Health Officials and/ or Medical Provider.
