Portalegre: GNR confirms interruption of in-person classes at Training Centre due to bedbug plague

Rádio Portalegre15 September 2026 at 17:23

GNR confirmed the presence of bedbugs in some accommodation spaces and sanitary facilities at the Portalegre Training Centre. The confirmation came after reports about the existence of a plague at the location.

As a preventive measure, in-person classes for the Guards training course will be suspended between Wednesday and Friday, September 16, 17, and 18. During this period, teaching activity will be maintained through distance learning.

The decision to temporarily interrupt in-person classes was made to prevent the situation from affecting the trainees who use the Training Centre facilities. GNR did not specify when in-person classes will resume or what decontamination measures will be implemented at the location.

Why this matters

The trainees of the Guards course at the Portalegre Training Centre see their in-person classes suspended for three days due to the confirmed bedbug plague, forcing the temporary transition to distance learning. This situation follows the confirmation by GNR of the presence of bedbugs in the centre's facilities, particularly affecting accommodation spaces and bathrooms.
