VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Virginia Beach health officials have lifted swimming and wading advisories at the beach around Lesner Bridge.
Those advisories were issued for the Lesner Bridge East beach from Starfish Road to Rockbridge Road on Wednesday afternoon and were lifted Thursday.
Officials tested the water at that beach and found higher than normal enterococci levels. Advisories are only lifted when the levels are back to normal.
People who swim or play in waters with bacteria levels higher than the standard have an increased risk of developing a gastrointestinal illness, as well as skin, eye and respiratory infections.
