Dangerous enterococcus bacteria have been detected in the drinking water in the city of Passau and its surroundings in the Bavaria region of Germany. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
This situation poses a serious threat to the health of the local population, as the bacteria can cause various diseases, including inflammation of the heart's inner lining and urinary tract infections. Health authorities recommend that residents only drink boiled water.
Boiling is considered the most effective and simple method to eliminate the bacteria. At the same time, extensive disinfection work is being carried out in the water supply system.
The water is being treated with chlorine, which aims to destroy the bacteria and make the water safe. Experts state that the situation is under constant monitoring.
It is currently unclear how long the restrictions imposed on the population will last. Health officials urge people to remain vigilant and avoid using unboiled or unfiltered water.
Special attention should be given to the health of children and the elderly. This situation once again highlighted the importance of drinking water safety.
Observing hygiene rules and following official recommendations are important factors in protecting public health. Experts will continue to provide updated information about the situation.
