Eating of Chicken/Eggs will not put one at risk of Covid-19 assures KTR

By munching on chicken legs at a Hyderabad event on Friday, Telangana ministers like KT Rama Rao tried to allay fears that eating chicken or eggs puts one at risk of contracting coronavirus infections. 

The news strain of coronavirus was first detected in a cluster of mysterious pneumonia cases linked to a seafood and live animal market in Wuhan, China, and has now



spread rapidly to nearly every continent and raised fears of a pandemic.

Rao said that rumours created on chicken and eggs by linking it with coronavirus were baseless. “Not only chicken, even mutton, fish or any other meat will not be affected by coronavirus. In India, we cook food at high temperature and under such conditions, no virus will survive in the food,” he said.
