Hi there. Thank you for your question.

First and foremost, I understand your concern regarding this issue of coronavirus since there’s an outbreak of the virus.

For your information, this virus transmitted from human-to-human through droplets. However, in a swimming pool, they’re completely washed off by the sheer amount of water. Thus, it shouldn’t be a problem. What you should be worry off is the dry surface around the swimming pool area such as the chair and table.

Nevertheless, I would advice you to prevent from this infection. These are the guidelines from Centre of Disease Control (CDC):

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

• Stay home when you are sick.

• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.

• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces

You may consult a MOH doctor by clicking Ask Doctor at the Ministry of Health website (COVID-19 Portal) to ask any health issues related to COVID-19 starting from 8.30 am to 5.00 pm.

After 5.00 pm till 12.00 am, please direct your enquiries to our DoctorOnCall website at this link https://www.doctoroncall.com.my/tanya/.

I hope my answer is a bit of help for you. May you and your family would always be in your good health. Thank you.
