On Monday, the administration of the Tangier Med Port in northern Morocco imposed strict measures to verify health and environmental vigilance following discovering the suspicion of the presence of “bugs” on board a passenger ship coming from the French port of Marseille.
In this context, a strict health protocol has been activated that includes comprehensive sterilization and cleaning of the ship and its cargo before receiving passengers and vehicles on board.
This measure comes within the framework of efforts to combat the spread of bedbugs, which some major cities in France are currently witnessing in public places and means of transportation.
French government meeting
The French government announced its intention to discuss the issue of the spread of bedbugs and ways to confront them in the country during the next week.
After a request from the municipality of Paris, the government pledged to increase its efforts to combat the spread of this insect.
A meeting will be held next week to discuss preventive measures with transportation service providers, with the aim of enhancing the protection of travelers and ensuring their safety before Paris hosts the Olympic Games in less than a year.
The Minister of Transport, Clément Beaune, announced on the social media platform “X” that he will gather transportation operators to discuss the measures taken and increase efforts in serving travelers and ensuring their safety.
What is the bed bugs?
Bed bugs are a type of small and harmful insects that live mainly in bedding, upholstery, and dark and sunny places in homes and hotels. Bedbugs feed on the blood of humans and pets. They are active at night when the victim is asleep and stick to their skin to draw blood. Bedbug bites are painful and leave itching and swelling. Because of their ability to transmit quickly and reproduce rapidly, bed bugs can cause a major problem in the places where they grow. Getting rid of them often requires professional pest control and good personal and environmental hygiene to prevent their return.
