Pool rooms will reopen before too long, given the near-certain advent in coming months of a universally available annual anti-CoVid certified vaccine treatment/prevention regimen for everyone (akin to anti-flu shots). (The just announced University of Pittsburgh epidermis-applied antibody-based, absorbable multi "needle" transmission mode looks to be a leading proposed solution now under trials.As long as there are carriers, that # resets over and over again.
Here's the details: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/04/200402144508.htm
In addition, highest quality air conditioner filtration in busy commercial rooms is going to be a major consideration when pool rooms reopen again -- to ensure that random exhaled particles are captured within the filters before continual recirculation can occur.
An excerpt from the article seen at the below linked page implies a parallel between cruise ships, pool rooms, and any indoor environments as they relate to airborne viruses (and bacteria . . . as with Legionnaires disease decades ago):

Ships and buildings . . . .generally use lower-grade filters, which are less taxing on HVAC systems, but also only catch somewhere between 20% to 40% of viruses passing through.
“That’s why when Diamond Princess was under quarantine, I feel they did a terrible job,” says Qinyang Chen [Chen is one of the foremost experts on indoor environments] of the disaster that infected 700 people and killed 8. “They didn’t let people get off.” Carnival failed to disinfect the ship upon learning there was a carrier of coronavirus on board. Then, as the ship docked for two weeks in Yokohama, Japan, most people were confined to their own quarters rather than allowed to go to land in a larger quarantine. Those infected with coronavirus were expelling the virus into the ship’s shared air, which could be sucked right out their door and, in a matter of minutes, into someone else’s room.
