The Algerian Ministry of Health announced that it had taken “preventive” measures to prevent the spread of any epidemic caused by harmful insects such as bed bugs that spread in Paris, where a large Algerian community lives and moves daily between the two shores of the Mediterranean.
The Ministry of Health’s statement, which it published on social media and local media on Thursday, said: “The Ministry of Health, in coordination with various competent authorities, has begun activating the health vigilance system by issuing a memorandum that includes a set of preventive measures that must be adopted to avoid the spread of any epidemiological development or any harm.” Another is caused by harmful insects such as bedbugs.”
The statement explained that the procedures include, in particular, “health monitoring and disinfection of aircraft, ships, and means of land transportation, and monitoring the disinfection of luggage and suspicious goods that are likely to contain harmful insects.”
Talk regarding the return of bedbugs in Paris, in particular, sparked a state of panic among residents of the French capital, despite the government’s assertion that there is no evidence of the appearance of this insect, which has disappeared from cities since the 1950s.
About 10 flights a day connect Algiers Airport with Paris, given that the largest Algerian community abroad is in France.
