The Indian government has been forced to reassure its citizens that 5G has not caused the second wave of coronavirus following a spate of conspiracy theories circulating on social media. Officials pointed out that there are no 5G networks in India as the country only approved 5G trials last week and they won't start for months. The Indian government has reassured its citizens that 5G has not caused the second wave of coronavirus which is ravaging the country and led to a record number of deaths. Meanwhile last month, the government successfully called on Facebook to remove social media posts calling for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to resign amid a surge of Covid-19 cases. The daily coronavirus cases rose by a staggering 348,421, taking the overall number of cases past 23 million, according to health ministry data.
