By | January 25, 2022

Photos of a swimming pool, shared on Facebook, show swimmers divided by plastic screens during a class. A caption next to the post says: “Please someone tell me this is not real.”

The images are genuine, taken from a French news broadcast recorded in January 2022, reporting on the reopening of a thermal spa. The facility is based in St-Paul-Lès Dax, south-west France.  

The spa’s website includes information about Covid-19 prevention measures it has implemented including the use of masks, vaccine passes and social distancing measures.
