Bed bugs｜Bed bugs found in “Examination Yuan”
According to reports, according to information from various district governments and health stations in Seoul on Sunday, 7 of the 25 districts reported the occurrence of bed bugs in their jurisdictions, with a total of 17 cases. It is reported that private epidemic prevention companies have received a large increase in inquiries about bed bug prevention and control in the past two months. It is said that the actual spread of bed bugs may not only extend to the reported area. An epidemic prevention company in Seoul said that it now receives an average of two to three consultation calls about bed bugs every day. In October, it carried out bed bug prevention and control work in 80 places in downtown Seoul. It is reported that in the Central District, a poorer residential area in the city, health workers found bed bugs in “examination centers” (such as Hong Kong subdivided rooms). Bed bugs were found on carpets and wallpapers.

Yonhap News Agency stated that Seoul has a population of 9.4 million and a high population density. If prevention and control measures are not in place, bed bugs may spread rapidly. The Seoul City Government urgently approved relevant budgets to focus on the management of high-risk areas such as the “Examination Center”. The city government has also inspected 3,175 public gathering places such as accommodation facilities and bathhouses since the 31st of last month, and will carry out disinfection and lice eradication in subways, cinemas and other places.
