The latest one claims that the fifth-generation superfast mobile network — popularly known as 5G — causes Covid-19. In the past, anti-5G activists also claimed that the upgrade to 5G mobile networks will cause cancer, infertility and autism. In sum, 5G mobile technology is the tour de force of the digital revolution. To burst these myths, the World Health Organisation says “viruses cannot travel on mobile radio networks”, and that “Covid-19 is spreading in many countries that do not have 5G mobile networks”. The allegation that 5G causes Covid-19 or transmits the coronavirus is a massive distraction.
