Algerian authorities have implemented stricter health measures at their borders to mitigate the potential spread of bedbugs, a problem that has become prevalent in France.

The Ministry of Health in North Africa has outlined plans to introduce "health monitoring and disinfection procedures for aircraft, ships, and vehicles at entry points."

This move comes amid concerns that these blood-sucking insects may infiltrate Algeria due to the significant number of people traveling from France.

The ministry, however, clarified that no bedbug infestations have been reported within the country while urging the public to remain vigilant.

Algeria's neighbor, Morocco, has also taken preventive measures to reduce the risk of bedbugs entering its territory.

The recent bedbug infestation in cities like Paris has raised widespread concerns, particularly regarding health and safety in anticipation of next year's Olympic Games.
