Hospital patients in Tuapse complain of raisin-sized cockroach infestation

In early January, a resident of Tuapse wrote to one of the local Telegram channels. She and her daughter were in the infectious disease ward of the hospital and complained about an infestation of cockroaches. According to her, they were everywhere—in the nightstands, in the bathroom, on the tables.

‘I got up at night to give my daughter a drink and almost lost consciousness when I saw a cockroach the size of a large raisin running across the table. What is this even called, and will anyone do something about it?’ she said.

On January 26, Rospotrebnadzor (the Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing) took notice of the publication. The agency reported that cockroaches were found in the inpatient facilities of the medical organization not only in the Tuapse district but also in the city of Gelendzhik (Krasnodar Krai).

‘The territorial department specialists have issued a warning to the medical organization about the inadmissibility of violating mandatory sanitary rules and the need to take measures to exterminate the insects,’ the agency added.

It is reported that disinsection has now been carried out. The situation is under the control of the Rospotrebnadzor Office for Krasnodar Krai.

Recall that at the end of last year in Anapa, after a children«s party, a girl found cockroaches in a sweet gift. Her mother recorded a video, and the authorities blamed a neural network for everything. According to the regional operational headquarters, the video turned out to be falsified. However, it was revealed that ‘real footage was combined with superimposed digital objects.’
