"Preliminary results from government lab experiments show that the coronavirus does not survive long in high temperatures and high humidity, and is quickly destroyed by sunlight, providing evidence from controlled tests of what scientists believed — but had not yet proved — to be true."

I've wondered what sick people spitting out pool water that others will have go up their noses will mean for the spread of the virus. Can't be good.
According to several studies posted previously, chlorine and bromine, the chemicals typically used to keep pools clean, inactivate coronaviruses. Pools, especially community ones, have to keep their levels way up to inactivate all sorts of nasty stuff--urine, feces (including e coli), cold and flu, etc. and are tested by the local health agencies quite often.
