The danger of swimming in crowds when the pandemic comes is not from the pool water but from the surrounding objects

Of course, the photos and videos of holiday people jostling around have made the public anxious about the corona tsunami data and other negative thoughts.
Worry is okay, but also balance it with information on the true dangers of swimming in public swimming pools or crowded places.
According to an Epidemiologist from Griffith University, Dicky Budiman, quoted by HAI from Kompas.com, he explained that the potential for transmission of the corona virus in water is very small.
“The potential for Covid-19 transmission in swimming pools, in water means, is of little potential,” said Dicky some time ago.
This is because in the swimming pool in general there is chlorine which can help kill the virus.
Dicky said, so far the virus that causes Covid-19 has survived or been detected in sewage or sewage. This is of course because there is no disinfectant.
“So far, Covid-19 is not waterborne disease, so it is relatively safe to swim. So far there is no evidence in that direction,” he said.
“Although the transmission will not be spread through pool water, but droplet can be attached to the slide board, pool ladder, tools to play on water park, and so on, “said dr. Devia.
Besides, when someone rinses their body and goes into the locker room / locker room, now droplet it can also be the cause of spread and eventually infect the body.
This was also said by dr. Ebb Lautenbach, head of infectious diseases at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania.
He called pool water will not transmit corona virus, however, it is objects around the swimming pool that are at risk of infection.
“You can imagine waiting in long lines to play the slides or just sitting by the pool drinking. All of these activities are contagious corona virus, be it from the bench you sit on or the people around you, “said dr. Lautenbach.
