Can the H1N1 Flu virus be spread through water in swimming pools, spas, water parks, interactive fountains, and other treated recreational water venues?
Flu viruses infect the human upper respiratory tract. There has never been a documented case of flu virus infection associated with water exposure. Recreational water that has been treated at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended disinfectant levels do not likely pose a risk for transmission of flu viruses.
