Immediately after the revelry of the elements, which affectedthree cities in the Krasnodar Territory (Krymsk, Novorossiysk and Gelendzhik), Rospotrebnadzor urged vacationers in Gelendzhik to temporarily refrain from bathing in the Black Sea. This was due to the increased danger of infectious water contamination after flooding. According to Interfax, the sea water, which was badly damaged by the flood of Gelendzhik, did not comply with the existing norms, 48 of 64 beaches were closed in the city. Employees Rospotrebnadzor recognized safe for health rest only on 16 beaches. In the places of the ban on bathing, black flags were hung out.

Additional chlorination of water is made, and those who come into contact with the flood - the necessary vaccinations.

Especially the inhabitants of large cities, especially such megacities as Moscow.

Tip 4: Which water bodies are safe for swimming

On a hot summer day there is an insurmountabledesire to go from the stuffy city to the beach to enjoy the refreshing coolness of the water and relax in the shade of the coastal vegetation. Before deciding to open a bathing season, take care of choosing a place for relaxation and a pond for swimming.

To make sure that the chosen reservoir is safefor swimming, find information about it on the Internet or in local media. As a rule, in the bathing season (from May to September), sanitary and epidemiological monitoring of water bodies and beaches located within the city or near them is carried out. If the surveyed place of rest meets the sanitary standards, information about this is communicated to the residents through the media or by placing on the beaches tablets with the inscriptions "Bathing is prohibited!" Or "Bathing is allowed." If the coastal zone is not landscaped, then the water body is unlikely to get the status of authorized to use the place of rest. When the beach area is littered or littered with construction equipment, then such a pond is not suitable for bathing. Only a well-maintained, controlled coastal zone is an indicator of the safety of a water body. Ideal for swimming is a pond, whose banks are equipped with changing cabins, toilets, garbage containers and parking for cars. There must also be a medical station and a professional lifeguard on duty. When obtaining permission to use the water body as a recreation area, the presence of shower cabins, sports grounds, rental facilities for swimming equipment and cafes where you can have a snack is also taken into account. For children on the water bodies, a special shallow water zone is enclosed, where bathing is safe. The bottom of a safe water body should be cleaned of debris and thick algae. Near the water body there should not be an industrial enterprise, since there is always a risk of contamination of the reservoir with toxic chemicals during their discharge. The water with standing water is also not suitable for bathing, since they always have a silted bottom, and because of the lack of running water, multiplication of harmful bacteria, parasites, contributing to the development of serious diseases.
