Is my swimming pool safe from the coronavirus variants ?

The main change in the past year regarding the Coronavirus and its behaviour, has been the appearance of new variants such as the well-known South African, British and Brazilian ones. The mutations in the virus have affected the envelope-embedded proteins, known as spikes. These mutations can increase the virus’s infection capability, but this does not mean they are more resistant to disinfectants. With this in mind, we can confidently state that properly treated swimming pools remain a safe place even with the new variants of the virus.
