Dr. Ezike: Swimming Pools Are Not Safe To Use During Coronavirus Pandemic Because Of ‘Fecal Shedding’

CDC says:

There is no evidence that COVID-19 can be spread to humans through the use of pools and 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.

"should"

Who knows what to trust.

No need to yell, just putting the info out there. Hard to tell what to believe. I have my own pool

There is going to be “fecal shedding” in swimming pools whether or not there is a corona virus pandemic.

Do you think people are dropping a chalupa in the pool?

Diluted by a 20,000 gallons of chlorinated water..

I'd be (am) much more concerned about public restrooms.

I bet there always is...and other “stuff” too. It always put me off swimming - in spite of what people say about chorine!

Swimming pools have been said to always be safe due to the chlorine. You should know by now that 90% of news is false so why do you continue to believe everything? How about you just bubble wrap yourself and live in a cave? Thats the only way to avoud germs

Then Dr. Ezike need not show up at our pools. Also, why would anyone give up their freedoms or amenities because some doctor said something? There are always people out there trying to control your life!

Read the statement. Mostly because of the locker rooms not the water. Just another way to spread fear to thevillages. Stay home instead of posting. ️

So much disinformation
Modified by conflicting information
And sometimes 180 degree turnarounds

A study has found the coronavirus in pollution particles. I don't have a link to that study to add. Other studies have shown the infection rate is at least 25% higher than the data shows. I don't have links to for this either. I'm also not doctor or scientist.

I plan on going to the pool when they open but I won't go under the water. I'll cool off by going in to chest height and then use the pool shower to rinse off. The UV rays will hopefully kill what the chlorine doesn't kill. I do not had any data to support my plan and I don't recommend anyone injecting or inhaling chlorine or using UV light inside their body.

I think most of the villages pools are “saltwater”
Not sure if that’s as good as chlorine

I am more than willing to give up “amenities” if I not going to spread the corona virus to others who might become ill and perhaps die.
