- Three Sea of Galilee beaches are now open for swimming.
- Health Ministry lifted advisories after water quality tests were normal.
- Previous warnings were issued due to abnormal microbial findings.
- Swimming is permitted only at official, supervised beaches.
The Israeli Ministry of Health announced on Tuesday the removal of swimming advisories at three beaches along the Sea of Galilee: Tsinbari, Tzemach, and Gofra. This decision follows the receipt of satisfactory results from recent water quality tests conducted at these locations.
Ministry officials had previously issued a warning on Monday for these same three beaches after routine water sampling revealed abnormal microbial findings, necessitating precautionary measures. The public was advised to avoid entering the water until updated laboratory results could confirm the absence of health risks.
According to Shira Solomon, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Health, the latest tests have come back clear, allowing for the lifting of the swimming restrictions. The ministry emphasized that these beaches are now open for public use.
Concurrently, the Ministry of Health reiterated its reminder to the public that swimming is permitted only at designated, official beaches that are equipped with regulated lifeguard and supervision services.
