DURIAN odour does not increase the likelihood of a person contracting Covid-19, nor does the fruit cause harm in those who have been vaccinated against the virus, MCA Public Service and Complaints Department head Datuk Seri Michael Chong says.
He said that he received numerous complaints from durian traders who were concerned about such rumours being spread.
“Such irresponsible claims are affecting the business of these traders, who are trying to earn a living during this difficult time.
“If such claims were true, I am sure that our Health director-general Tan Sri Noor Hisham Abdullah would have warned us, ” he said.
