China’s recent claim that a surface sample of chicken wings from Brazil tested positive for the novel coronavirus could have “disastrous consequences” for the South American economy, the Islamic Center of Brazil told Salaam Gateway.

The sample was found positive for the virus during routine sample tests in Longgang district and confirmed during a re-examination by the city and the Guangdong Centre for Disease Control and Prevention.
