A no-swim advisory for parts of Hollywood beach was lifted Friday after water samples showed safe levels of bacteria, the the Department of Health in Broward County said.
Samples collected from Harrison Street and Minnesota Street earlier this week did not meet state requirements, the health department said. Samples dated Thursday received a good designation.
Bacteria in the water could cause gastroenteritis.
Results from samples at all other beaches in Broward were satisfactory, with designations of good or moderate, the department said.
In early 2020, the South Florida Sun Sentinel found that public health officials rarely issue advisories for beaches in Broward, while Palm Beach and Miami-Dade told people not to swim in the contaminated waters for more than 200 days throughout the year.
