Three beaches of New Jersey were closed due to the active growth of the number of bacteria in the water; with respect to dozens of other city authorities, they issued warnings about a large number of bacteria and recommendations not to bathe there.

The State Department of Environmental Protection announced the presence in the water of more than the normal number of enterococci, such as bacteria found in animal and human waste, reports NBC.

Experts warn travelers about the possible health risks of swimming in water with high levels of bacteria. Researchers continue to take water samples several times a day.

The beach is closed if two water samples in a row show an excess of the number of bacteria established by state law. Closing the beach remains in force until the next sample shows that the level of bacteria is normal again.

At the time of closing, the ban applies to swimming and playing in the water. Other beach activities such as sunbathing and walking along the beach are not prohibited.

• Beach (River): Beachwood Beach West
