The District Collector of Chennai has appealed to the Chennai Citizens not to believe the rumours floating around - rest assured that it is safe and harmless to eat eggs or chicken!
A notification released in this regard:
‘A section of the public has indulged in spreading a false rumour through the various social networking media that eating eggs or chicken may be infectious to get the raging coronavirus!
It is gathered that with this false rumour, the public has started hesitating and avoiding eating eggs or chicken.
Please note that this is an entirely false rumour!
With this, though there is the aspect of losing the goof protein by avoiding eggs/chicken on the one side, on the other side, there is a very looming and prominent prospect of those who run poultries and agriculturists losing a substantial business and the earnings - incurring such huge losses may severely affect their lifelines!
All of us are very aware that eggs and chicken are the easy and cheap source of protein-rich food! Further, they help strengthen body immunity (resistance) against various diseases.
In the present circumstances, the strength in body resistance to illness attack is vitally essential!
