In Singapore an outdoor swimming pool was cordoned off with tape and a member of staff was telling residents not to use the pool.

It is a huge pool, outdoors.



The directive, according to what I was told, came from the management of the leisure complexes across Singapore. The management of the residential complex apparently sub-contracts the running and maintenance of various parts of the complex, such as the entry gates, the lifts, the waste disposal, and the leisure facilities, to other companies which specialise in those areas.

On March 31 2020 I read in the Daily Mail online that a superspreader in China had infected several people in a swimming pool and sauna complex. That is alarming.

Does that mean an indoor complex? Or an outdoor pool and indoor sauna? It was not clear to me. Either way, I can see why the management of leisure facilities across a city or country might decide to shut all parts of their operation.
