What problems should I pay attention to when going to the pool? Experts give these recommendations

Summer is coming, and the swimming pool has become a good place for people to cool off and exercise. However, today, when the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic has entered the normalization stage, swimming in the swimming pool should also pay attention to protection. So, how should the swimming pool do a good job in epidemic prevention and control? How can individuals protect their health? Today, experts from the Institute of Environmental and Health-related Product Safety of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention introduced the relevant knowledge to everyone.

According to experts, everyone is exposed to the water, air and supplies of the swimming pool when swimming. First of all, we must ensure the hygiene and safety of swimming places. First, the pool water should meet the national drinking water hygiene standards, and the pool water should be purified and disinfected regularly to ensure that the disinfectant residue, disinfection by-products and some microorganisms and human excrement (like urea) in the pool water should meet the requirements of the national health standards. Second, the air quality in swimming places, including some pollutants, such as inhalable particulate matter, formaldehyde, benzene, and ammonia, must comply with national health standards. Third, public supplies and public facilities, such as towels and fitness equipment used in swimming places, should be cleaned regularly. Supplies and utensils should be "one guest, one use and one disinfection". Some high-frequency contact parts, such as elevator buttons and door handles, should be disinfected regularly.

The second is ventilation in public places. Everyone may feel that the air in the swimming stadium is different from other places, mainly because some disinfectants are added to the swimming pool, which may be emitted into the air, so it is necessary to strengthen the ventilation of the pool air. In the case of a more suitable temperature, it is necessary to use natural ventilation as much as possible. If you use an air conditioning system, to ensure the safety of the use of the air conditioning system, some parts are regularly cleaned, disinfected, and replaced when necessary. Staff should establish a health monitoring system, if there is an abnormal body temperature or cough, fever symptoms, to seek medical treatment and report in time.

In addition, when citizens enter the swimming pool, they must first accept the management of the swimming pool operator, such as measuring body temperature and showing the health code. Shower before entering the pool, disinfect your feet before entering the pool, and maintain good personal hygiene in the pool. Reporter of this newspaper, Yang Su
