Can the COVID-19 virus spread through pools and hot tubs?

Can the COVID-19 virus spread through pools and hot tubs?

The US Department of Health and Human Services, has stated, “there is no evidence that COVID-19 can be spread to humans through the use of pools and/or 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.”

Obviously, in order to prevent illness is to not be exposed to this virus. However, as a reminder, take everyday preventive actions to help avoid the spread of respiratory diseases, which include:

  • Avoid being around people who are sick.
  • Stay home when sick
  • When soap and water are not available, always use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.
  • Always wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom, before eating, and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
  • Frequently, use a regular household cleaning spray or wipe to clean and disinfect touched objects and surfaces.
  • Always over your mouth when coughing or sneezing with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
  • Facemasks
    • Not recommended for people who are well, to wear a facemask, to protect themselves from respiratory diseases, including COVID-19.
    • People who show symptoms of COVID-19 should wear facemasks to help prevent possible spread of disease to others.

Above all, do not panic or overreact, but rather engage in sound planning for the good of everyone.
