I assume that they assume that chlorine does kill it because they are simpletons. Therefore the need to close the public pools was because of social distance issues rather than the presence of the virus in the water. That was my take of it anyways
Wrong. The reason to close gyms and leisure facilities is sweat droplets and because of increased contact on the equipment. Also they host huge catchment areas people travel to gyms etc from increasing distances. Also wearing masks during workout is medically hazardous it can risk heart failure. Why footballers and other sports professionals are exempt from masks.
As for swimming pools, droplets are in the water. This has been proved repeatedly in sewage studies. Where they have proposed testing sewage for the local infection rates on the COVID density found.
Suggesting chlorine kills COVID quicker is epic failure. They cannot put higher doses of chlorine in the pool because chlorine causes health problems. Skin irritation, vomiting, diarrhoea and eye problems if it has increased dosages found in sewage treatment along with the other chemical purifiers. There is immediate Covid contamination in a swimming pool it transfers directly regardless of redundant face coverings.
