Telangana Ministers Eat Chicken To Allay Coronavirus Fears

Many Telangana ministers, standing in line in white, were seen holding the chicken leg in one hand and paper plate in the other to eliminate the belief or misconception that eating chicken may trigger coronavirus.

The ministers had joined the fair organized by the poultry industry on Friday. The event aimed to remove this belief in people’s minds that consuming chicken and egg causes coronavirus.

According to ANI, ministers KT Rama Rao, Etela Rajender and Talasani Srinivas Yadav were among those who were seen enjoying chicken pieces at a public event. Pictures of the ministers relishing the chicken pieces have gone viral on the internet.

The novel coronavirus is believed to have originated in China’s Hubei province from a meat market. More than 2800 casualties have been reported in China with another 80,000 positive cases of the virus.

The virus is slowly taking all parts of the world in its grip. People are being told that COVID-19, which broke out in China and spread to various parts of the world, would not affect the birds.
