Some Public Swimming Pools May Open This Week

In May, Governor Andy Beshear announced that some public pools could open by this week, with protocols in place for the safety of swimmers and employees. As some pools open for the summer, Baptist Health Paducah encourages people to continue to take precautions. 

The Centers for Disease Control advises people wash their hands often, cover coughs and sneezes, wear a mask when possible and practice social distancing by staying at least six feet away from people you do not live with.

Other tips include: bring your own supplies - such as hand sanitizer - for proper hygiene; do not share personal objects such as goggles, nose clips and toys such as floats; and if you are showing signs of the virus or any illness be sure to stay at home.
