The Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit has issued a number of swimming advisories and closures among beaches across the region.
Every summer, the health unit collects water samples from public beaches. When elevated levels of E. coli are present in water samples, a swimming advisory indicating that it’s unsafe to swim may be posted, or the beach may be closed.
