According to APA, a notice was placed on the beach advising against swimming due to “high results obtained in a sample from the complementary monitoring program, under the responsibility of the Braga municipality.”
APA reported a microbiological contamination with “high levels of intestinal enterococci and/or E. coli.”
“This bathing restriction was lifted today, June 20, at 12:00,” it adds.
The bathing water in Adaúfe, in the municipality of Braga, was subject to a swimming restriction on June 18 by placing a “do not swim” notice on site due to the high result obtained from the complementary monitoring program, managed by the Braga municipality.
