Playa Blanca beach, ready to open for swimming this Monday

The town beach of Playa Blanca is once again open for swimming, after spending three days closed due to possible contamination that affected three people

Finally, all the tests carried out have been negative. This Tuesday, the presence of potentially harmful microalgae and also E. Colli was ruled out, and we were waiting for a final report, which arrived this Wednesday. The result, in this case on the presence of Enterococcus-type bacteria, has also been negative.

Thus, given the "scientific evidence that there is no danger to health", the Yaiza City Council has once again raised the green flag on the town beach of Playa Blanca. 

Regarding the skin eruptions suffered by the three people last Sunday, two bathers and a lifeguard, Public Health does not know at the moment what caused this pathology to those affected.
