Even though I was aware that it&#8217;s fake and old, I conducted an investigation. It is fake and no viral infection in goats has been reported in the area. I have also replied to the GOI, Joint Secretary.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The department&#8217;s Joint Director (Animal Disease Control), Dr Tej Singh, gave a similar statement and called the viral claims &#8220;fake news&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Gajanand Khatik, a trader at Ajmer bakra market, said, &#8220;This is just an attempt to build a narrative against the consumption of meat. No virus is spreading here. If that were the case, health department officials would have conducted inspections. They [the people spreading rumours] are only trying to hamper our business. Why would we sell contaminated meat and dupe people? The rumours are just spreading due to the coronavirus scare.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It is noteworthy that all three men claimed that the video was not shot in the Ajmer bakra market. However, Alt News has not verified the same.<\/p>\n<p>A quick search for media reports echoing social media assertions does not yield results.<\/p>\n<p>An old video is therefore circulating on social media that goats in Ajmer&#8217;s bakra market are either infected with COVID-19 or an unknown virus that is making them sick.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can COVID-19 infect goats?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Alt News Science editor Dr Sumaiya Shaikh informs that it&#8217;s possible that animals domesticated for consumption or dairy can be infected with the coronavirus. &#8220;Previous scientific research <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/journals\/animal-health-research-reviews\/article\/bovinelike-coronaviruses-in-domestic-and-wild-ruminants\/366DC622D4B2BE5E3534D1FC73BE7E6F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(Haitham Mohamed Amer, Cambridge University Press, 2019)<\/a> has shown that domestic as well as wild animals including goats have been infected in the earlier coronavirus epidemics.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, continues Dr Shaikh, &#8220;Infection in animals such as goats requires a different strain of the same virus than the one which infects humans. Since it has not been found that goats were infected in Ajmer due to the coronavirus, it is likely that the video is false.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Earlier a piece of false news was viral that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/coronavirus-in-broiler-chicken-h5n1-bird-flu-outbreak-in-china-falsely-linked-with-cov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">broiler chicken<\/a> was found to be infected with COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>To stay ahead of misinformation related to coronavirus, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/page\/2\/?s=coronavirus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A video massively viral across social media platforms has been shared with the claim that the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has affected goats in Ajmer&#8217;s bakra market, Rajathan. \u091c\u093f\u0924\u0928\u093e \u091c\u0932\u094d\u0926\u0940 \u0939\u094b \u0938\u092c \u0917\u0941\u0930\u0941\u092a \u092e\u0947 \u092d\u0947\u091c\u094b \u092c\u0915\u0930\u093e \u092e\u0947 \u092d\u0940 \u0915\u094b\u0930\u094b\u0928\u093e \u0935\u093e\u090f\u0930\u0938 \u092a\u093e\u092f\u093e \u0917\u092f\u093e \u0939\u0948 Posted by Piriydarshi Mohan Kumar Barnwal on Saturday, 14 March 2020 A lot [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":61326,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39,121],"tags":[],"an_content_type":[],"coauthors":[141],"class_list":["post-61266","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-science","fact_checks_claim_type-viral-videos"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
