. It was too small. When we saw it, we started talking to others about the patches. Many came and read after they bathed, said Jose Wold, who was at the beach when the spots were fixed.

Were held 50 meters from the water

On the patches that were established, about 50 meters of water "high levels of E. coli and enterococci bacteria that make unsuitable water. "

– The patch was 50 meters from the water. But we did not think about it first. We had no idea that it would be dangerous to swim.

– The danger is that the patch is so small

"Can not miss the panels"

Just before 11 panels were installed by the municipality of Halmstad. How people may have missed the signs, says Boris Bile at the Halmstad Municipality is strange.

Can become stomach

If you enter the water, you may, depending on the municipality, risk getting sick. Something that worries Joseph now.

– My daughter tried to learn to swim to have water. She does not feel bad now but they say it can happen after an hour or during the night. We will keep an eye on her during the day.
