Beach warnings issued in time for vacations


It is Semana Santa in Mexico, Holy Week in English, a religious holiday in which more people appear to go to the beach than to church.

And while few would doubt that churches are generally safe, the same cannot always be said of beaches.

However, the federal health agency Cofepris has come out with figures to allay any worries about the quality of the water at 97.7% of Mexico’s 264 swimming beaches.

In fact, just six beaches were found to be unsafe for swimming after testing was carried out in early March in preparation for the Easter vacation season.
