FG heightens surveillance at entry points following the outbreak of bed bugs in France

The Federal Government has heightened surveillance at all entry points in the nation following the outbreak of bed bug infestations in France and some parts of Europe.

A wave of panic and disgust has spread across France as travellers have posted their photos and videos showing bed bugs on the Paris local transport system, high-speed trains and even the Charles de Gaulle airport.

Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Professor Muhammed Ali Pate, announced that the ministry is committed to ensuring that appropriate measures and responses are set in place to prevent and contain bed bug infestations nationwide.
