Good news for the holidays of the Italians, after the Irish research which highlights the benefits of outdoor life in the fight against covid19 and the Spanish study on beach safety, a study by Imperial College London also arrives which tells us that swimming pool water inactivates the coronavirus in just 30 seconds.
One more reason to think about holidays, especially in Vieste which offers many open spaces, sea and beautiful villages with swimming pool.
This article from the AGI tells us that England swimming pools will reopen in mid-April 2021 and the team of scientists argue that the risk of transmission of Covid-19 through chlorinated water is extremely low.
Indeed, experts report that a chlorine concentration of 1,5 milligrams per liter and an acidity index between 7 and 7,2 can reduce the infectivity of the pathogen by more than a thousand times in just 30 seconds.
The pool water study was undertaken by virologist and respiratory virus expert, Professor Wendy Barclay, together with researcher Dr. Jonathan Brown, research technician Maya Moshe of Imperial College London and the team of Alex Blackwell, from the company "Water Babies"
“These results – comments Jane Nickerson, managing director of Swim England – support the hypothesis that swimming pools are safe environments if the appropriate measures are taken. This is fantastic news for operators, our members and clubs who take part in sporting activities, swimmers and those who rely on water to stay physically active.”
“We are thrilled with these results – adds Paul Thompson, founder of Water Babies – as we prepare to restart lessons and welcome children and customers back to indoor swimming pools around the country. We know swimming has multiple physical and mental health benefits for both children and adults of all ages and we can't wait to get back to activities."
