Morocco Denies Bed Bug Outbreak, Implements Preventive Measures

The ministry says it has strengthened health surveillance at borders, ensured monitoring in high-risk areas and also published recommendations for travelers on its official website.

Faced with concerns, the ministry urges Moroccans to remain vigilant and avoid succumbing to rumors and overestimating risks. A surveillance system for the early detection of any unusual incidents is active. The ministry notably advises against buying used mattresses, furniture or clothing from regions with a strong presence of these insects.

Communication remains a priority for the Ministry of Health, which is committed to keeping the public informed of any developments related to this situation.
