Yes, ll the scientific evidence seems to point to the fact that the virus is not waterborne. Perhaps just as importantly, since the water contains 1000 lbs. of salt, there is no evidence that it could survive in such an environment. In addition we have taken extra steps to insure that our customers do not bring the virus into the spa. We require masks. We require that they use hand sanitizer upon entering the space, and of course everyone takes two showers, one before and one after taking the float.

And of course we are regulated by the Durham Health Department which requires us to meet their health standard

Somewhat – this is like Altered States (and Stranger Things!) but you don’t eat mushrooms or lose your grip on reality.

No, you can’t drown, even if you can’t swim. Your face will stay out of the water naturally and turning over is nearly impossible. If you did manage to turn over, the salt would sting your eyes and wake you up.
