The French government is urging calm as it works to combat an outbreak of bedbugs in the capital city of Paris.
Recent videos from Paris residents showing bedbugs infesting public transportation, movie theaters, and other areas of daily life have led to demands for government action.
“You have to understand that, in reality, no one is safe,” said Deputy Mayor of Paris Emmanuel Gregoire, addressing the issue on French news station LCI.

“Obviously, there are risk factors, but in reality, you can catch bedbugs anywhere and bring them home,” he continued.
Minister of Transportation Clement Beaune said Friday he will address the infestation and begin meeting with transportation operators in the coming days.
The insect problem is not a new one — the French government launched an initiative three years ago aimed at informing residents about the spread of bedbugs and offering resources for dealing with them at home.
