Combo Swim is not cancelled. Wonder if the virus can survive in The Villages filtering system. I've been told the pools filtering system uses salt. Are neighborhood pools still open?

If they weren't still open, then they wouldn't have specified that only the hot tub for Southside is closed. They would've said the pool was closed too.

Shouldn't the golf courses be closed?
