This was reported by Natalya Shevchik, a hygienist at the Minsk city center municipal hygiene department for Hygiene and Epidemiology. writing BELT.
This season, 308 water samples were taken from open reservoirs.
“So far, all samples comply with hygiene standards in terms of microbiological safety. Based on a comprehensive assessment of water bodies, it is possible to swim on the city’s official beaches without restrictions. The sanitary situation is assessed as satisfactory,” said Shevchik.
The main criterion for the decision to introduce swimming restrictions is the rest of microbiological safety indicators, in particular, E. coli.
According to Shevchik, if abnormal results are obtained from laboratory tests, regional administrations and beach balancers will be informed about the situation. The basis for building constraints is to obtain two positive results.
