As the country deals with the second wave of covid 19, the pandemic has seen rising cases of black fungus, white fungus and yellow fungus. Medical experts have been on their toes to help people and expose them to correct information. However, misinformation and fake news keep creeping up from different corners. Of late, several WhatsApp forwards and social media posts claimed that Black Fungus can spread through farm chickens.
Turns out, there s no truth to it. There is no scientific evidence that the infection can spread from chickens to humans. The piece was categorised as fake by verified Twitter account, PIB Fact Check, which counters misinformation on government policies and schemes.
