New Delhi: The Centre on on Thursday debunked claims that eating ice-cream or any other frozen food leads to contracting coronavirus.

With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, several rumours regarding prevention and cure of the disease have been making rounds on social media, according to a release by Press Information Bureau .

Looking at the simultaneous outbreak of misinformation on the internet, the World Health Organization (WHO) had also released a note bursting the myths related to the virus like consumption of garlic prevents infection, seasame oil kills coronavirus, etc.

“There is no evidence that choice of food will make any difference in the spread of the virus. Food is certainly not the source of transmission. It may be different for people who live near abattoirs etc. But if you cook it in your home kitchen and have it, there is no problem. Well-cooked meat is never a problem,” professor at Centre for Community Medicine at Delhi AIIMS, Dr Anand Krishnan was quoted as saying by The Indian Express.
