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’t reported additional cases of medical-waste discoveries, the officials opened some of the beaches.

"Everything's open," said Upper Township Beach Patrol Lt. Jason Marshall, on the subject of beaches in Strathmere, an area located within Upper Township, 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’t 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.
