Local governments reserve the right to manage city pools and decide when they reopen. The Mayor says like all other phases of reopening, the transition team is looking for ways to open pools in a safe manner. โWeโre monitoring the successive phase of opening of Texas to make sure that thereโs no spikes,โ Nirenberg says. โOnce we pass our data tests to make sure weโre safe and not seeing another surge in cases, weโre gonna begin to open those pools but the plan is being worked on right now.โWatch the full interview with Mayor Ron Nirenberg from the News at 9 below.
