Swimming fans in Tianjin are expected to make a splash as the city allows to reopen swimming pools.
The move is the latest respite for millions of residents, emerging from the shadow of COVID-19.
More and more facilities are springing to life following the reopening of indoor sport and fitness facilities earlier this month.
Tianjin Sports Bureau said that swimming pools in the city which meet the required hygiene standards will be allowed to reopen. The per capita sports area in the swimming pool is not less than 5 square meters. The number of people taking a shower at the same time should be less than 50% of the usual capacity.
Stadiums and swimming pools have to strictly implement prevention measures and only those licenced by the health authorities can resume operations.
Every swimming pool must be equipped with a temperature-checking instrument at the entrance, in addition to other disinfection measures.
