The World Waterpark Association (WWA) has shared advice and guidance to waterparks, public pools and hot tubs operating during the health crisis.
The guidance includes how to promote behaviour among guests and staff to help prevent the spread of the virus, maintain safe and healthy environments and what to do if someone at the premises becomes ill.
Such procedures include the promotion of regular handwashing and the wearing of face masks. The WWA advises operators to ensure they have adequate supplies of cleaning and hygiene materials, such as hand sanitiser and no-touch rubbish bins. It is essential that waterpark sites communicate hygiene and health and safety measures to visitors, the WWA stipulates.
Further guidelines include maintaining rigorous cleaning schedules and the implementation of signage about social distancing requirements.
