According to him, a total of 120 bathing areas are monitored in the country, but so far no data has been received from the bathing areas in Visaginas and part of Vilnius, Širvintos, Utena, Anykščiai, Raseiniai districts.

On 7 June, in the Skakai ponds of the Angiriai and Joniškis districts of the Kėdainiai district, a higher number of colony-forming units of intestinal enterococci was found than allowed by the hygiene standard.
“After repeated inspections on June 11, the water quality of the Angiriai pond met the requirements,” the report says.
The quality of the bathing water is evaluated using two microbiological parameters: intestinal enterococci and intestinal bacilli. According to the requirements of the hygiene standard, intestinal enterococci should not contain more than 100 colony-forming units per 100 ml of water and intestinal sticks should not contain more than 1000 colony-forming units per 100 ml of water.
Information on the quality of bathing water is updated as soon as information is received from municipalities and laboratories.
Information on the quality of bathing water should also be made available to the public on municipal websites.
The latest results of the bathing water quality tests and the recommendation not to bathe or the prohibition of bathing should be posted at the posts near the beaches.
