A popular beach in Varna, Bulgaria, known for attracting Romanian tourists, has been urgently closed due to high levels of E. coli bacteria. The closure affects Ofitserski Beach (Officers’ Beach) and stems from contamination found in seawater samples. Health authorities detected both E. coli and intestinal enterococci, prompting the immediate action to protect public health. Romanian tourists planning vacations in Bulgaria have been warned about the critical sanitary situation. The closure raises concerns about water quality along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. Further testing is underway to determine the extent of the contamination and when the beach may reopen. Officials have not yet released information regarding the source of the bacteria.
