Would cooking poultry and eggs properly kill the virus?
Cooking food thoroughly will kill bacteria and viruses. Poultry and eggs should always be cooked properly to avoid food poisoning anyway. You should follow the usual handling and cooking instructions for cooking poultry and it should be prepared hygienically and thoroughly cooked to an internal temperature of 70 degrees Celsius. If you’re cooking a whole chicken or other bird, pierce the thickest part of the leg (between drumstick and thigh) with a clean knife or skewer until the juices run clear. The juices shouldn’t have any pink or red in them and there should be no pink meat. You should not eat raw eggs or use raw eggs in dishes that will not be cooked. Eggs should be cooked until the whites are solid.
