Health Ministry Warns Against Swimming at Kinneret Beach
The Ministry of Health has issued a bathing warning for the "HaShikmim" beach on the Sea of Galilee (Kinneret) due to unusually high microbial results found in water quality tests. The warning comes just before the intermediate days of the Passover holiday, a popular time for Israelis to visit the Kinneret.
The ministry stated that the findings were based on routine water quality checks. The specific type of bacteria or the exact levels were not detailed in the announcement. The Ministry of Health is responsible for monitoring water quality at public beaches to ensure public safety.
