Salt water pools use the salt to create chlorine as the water is pumped through the pool equipment’s hydrolizer. As the water goes back into the pool the chlorine starts breaking down back into salt. The water is cleaned without having to have high amounts of chlorine constantly in the water. So the water itself should be relatively safe, but it’s people you need to worry about. You still need to social distance in or out of the pool since masks are not likely being used there. Be safe!
