As many as 60 state and federal agencies were working busily on Monday to try to contain the fallout from a massive onshore wash of medical waste — including hundreds of hypodermic needles and feminine hygiene products — over the weekend along the coastline from Delaware down to Virginia.

If you’re heading to the beaches of Delmarva anytime soon, access to the ocean is restricted in some areas there due to a “significant amount of medical waste washing onshore.” Officials at Assateague Island and in the Town of Ocean City both closed access to the ocean Sunday.
