evidence: A viral message on social media claims that no vegetarian has been affected by coronavirus because it requires animal fat in the body to survive. The claim has been attributed to the World Health Organization (WHO). A similar message in Hindi doing the rounds on social media translates to, "Not a single vegetarian person has contracted coronavirus in the entire world, says WHO report. Amazing Sanatan culture". India Today Anti Fake News War Room (AFWA) has found that there is no scientific evidence yet to prove that vegetarians are safe from coronavirus. The WHO has not said that coronavirus cannot affect vegetarians or it needs animal fat in a body to survive. In fact, the global health body has recommended animal protein in its nutrition advice for adults during the Covid-19 outbreak.
