Warnings have been issued for three Niagara beaches going into the weekend.

Public Health says you should stay away from Bernard Ave Beach in Fort Erie, Humberstone Centennial Park Beach in Port Colborne and Sherkston Quarry Beach in Port Colborne for the time being.

Officials test the water of all of Niagara's beaches regularly and issue warnings whenever they find high levels of E.Coli.

Warnings are also issued whenever they find lots of weeds, bad odours or floating debris in the water.

Swimming in these waters could lead to ear, eye, nose, throat or skin infections and ingesting the water may cause diarrhea.
