Over the weekend, several Cape May County beaches had to be closed to
public because medical debris, such as needles, washed ashore.
On Monday, the New Jersey beaches remained clear of the medical waste
that determined the local authorities not to allow people to go there
in the previous week. For the reason that beach patrols through the
county in the U.S. state of New Jersey haven=92t re****ted additional
cases of medical-waste discoveries, the officials opened some of the
beaches.
"Everything's open," said Upper Town****p Beach Patrol Lt. Jason
Marshall, on the subject of beaches in Strathmere, an area located
within Upper Town****p, in Cape May County, where a small seashore had
been closed Friday due to safety concerns.
Last week, an estimated 200 syringes, as well as other types of
medical debris, washed ashore on the beaches of Avalon, a resort
vacation island of the Jersey Shore. In the Labor Day weekend, the
beaches from that barrier island resort and Ocean City were forced to
be closed. Swimming was forbidden as other 8 syringes were discovered
Sunday. However, some of the beaches re-opened later that day.
The inquiry into the source of the medical waste wasn=92t brought to an
end. A $10,000 reward will be offered by the state Attorney General's
Office for anyone giving relevant information in the case.
