Overview
- MINSA and DIGESA activated the Verano Saludable web and mobile app with weekly updates showing each site’s current sanitary status.
- Digesa’s latest report lists 19 of 73 beaches in Lima Metropolitana as healthy, while a related listing identifies 41 approved balnearios across Lima and Callao.
- Regional inspections show major shortfalls in pool certifications, with Junín confirming 16 of 83 pools approved and Arequipa reporting only 7 of about 160 as healthy.
- Health officials warn that contaminated water—assessed using fecal-bacteria indicators—can cause gastrointestinal, skin and eye infections.
- Authorities advise checking on-site flags and the platform’s listings, where blue or green indicates a healthy site and red signals one that should be avoided.
