Coronavirus does not spread through poultry, said a statement released by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India(FSSAI) on Tuesday amid rumours that consumption of poultry can spread the deadly virus.  The predominant route or transmission of 2019-nCov (coronavirus) appears to be human to human as per OIE, though 2019-nCov may have had an animal source, which requires further investigation. Poultry has not been found to be involved in the transmission of 2019-nCoV to humans so far in any report globally, the statement read.
