Health Ministry Warns Against Swimming at Kinneret Beach Ahead of Holiday
The Israeli Ministry of Health has issued a bathing warning for the HaShikmim beach on the Sea of Galilee (Kinneret) ahead of the intermediate days of the Passover holiday. The advisory comes after routine water quality tests revealed unusually high microbial levels.
The ministry is urging the public to refrain from entering the water at this specific beach. They also reminded the public that swimming is only permitted at officially designated and monitored beaches.
The warning is particularly relevant as many Israelis are expected to travel to the north of the country during the holiday period, seeking recreation at the popular Kinneret.
