A patient arrives infested with bedbugs, Arras emergency rooms at a standstill

It’s a very small creature that terrorizes… The bedbug has acted up again and even suspended the activity of an emergency department on Tuesday at Arras hospital.

Before noon, a man showed up infested with bedbugs, reports France Bleu Nord. The patient was quickly isolated in a box and as a precautionary measure, the decision to stop admissions was made – only for non-vital needs. An advanced medical post was installed and allowed outpatient consultations.

A specialized company came to disinfect the emergency department in the afternoon, before a hoped-for resumption of activity during the night.
