Education minister says ‘cases are piling up’ and that ‘an immediate response is needed’
France has been forced to shut seven schools over growing concerns over an infestation of bedbugs, the education minister has said.
“Bedbugs were detected at various levels in … I believe 17 institutions, and currently as I speak to you, seven institutions are closed for this reason,” Gabriel Attal told France 5 television.
The French government has held a series of meetings this week to examine surging numbers of reported bedbug cases at a time when France is hosting the Rugby World Cup and preparing to host the Paris 2024 Olympics.

Have you guys seen the comments section on youtube about this? A weird amount of kooky climate change deniers.
I remember when this happened in New York City about 10 years ago. We all just got new mattresses and couches and moved on with our lives. IKEA stock went through the roof.
That's YouTube comments. Deniers tend to be either really ignorant or less ignorant, but more privileged - they have a lot of time to spend, especially the middle-aged ones closing in on retirement.
