Claim: 'NDTV' report of Omicron virus spread from poultry
Fact-check: This 'NDTV' news screenshot reporting Omicron spread from poultry is a morphed image - FACTLY
Verdict: the photo shared in the post is a morphed one. there is no scientific evidence to confirm the covid-19 virus spread from poultry. in 2020, when a similar rumour went viral on social media, ghmc issued a press release clarifying that not a single case of any bird being positive to coronavirus was found in india. the telangana government did not issue any press release notifying poultry farms as a source of spreading the omicron virus in the state. hence, the claim made in the post is false.
