    Chlorine will kill it 100%. Use 5 tablespoons (1/3 cup) of bleach in one gallon of water or 4 teaspoons of bleach in one quart of water.

    Ordinary chlorinated pool WATER, though, is not the same.

    Full strength, absolutely, along with you and anyone else unfortunate enough to be in improperly ventilated enclosure where storage and safe handling information has been ignored.

    Source(s): Manufacturers suggestions and indications, and 30 years of not dying from my own stupidity when referring to updated MSDS manuals when coworkers on other shifts expired because they neglected to dislodge thier heads from thier sphincter long enough to not mix or improperly store chemicals and follow dilution tables to the number.

    Are you planning on staying in a pool for the next few months?

    No, because coronavirus is not alive. Chlorine could deactivate it, depending on the concentration, but I wouldn't risk it.
