Amid nationwide reports of bedbug sightings increasing concerns among residents and tourists using public hygiene facilities, Ulleung-gun plans to form joint inspection teams consisting of public officials and honorary public hygiene monitors to conduct on-site inspections of 118 lodging and bathhouse businesses at risk of bedbug outbreaks until December 8.

The main inspection items include ▲checking whether bedding is washed and the timing of replacement ▲inspecting for signs of bedbugs in various locations (bed headboards, mattresses, pillow seams, backs of picture frames, window sills, curtains, floor gaps, etc.) ▲and compliance with hygiene management standards within the facilities.

Additionally, the county will distribute the "Bedbug Information Booklet" and self-inspection checklists provided by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency to ensure prompt control measures in case of bedbug occurrences.
