    Test results that came back Friday afternoon showed high bacteria levels at Clearwater Beach, Mandalay Park and Sand Key, according to the Florida Department of Health in Pinellas County.

Officials say people should stay out of the water — swimming is not recommended due to high levels of enterococci bacteria.
