Experts debunk myth that 5G Network is linked to coronavirus pandemicCommunication experts, government and global media are working to prove to the world that 5G network is not in any way related to the coronavirus after some 5G masts were set on fire in Britain last week. Claims linking 5G to the coronavirus pandemic have led to petrol bomb attacks on phone masts and rebuttals from the government. Tom Phillips, the editor of the fact checking organisation Full Fact, said it warned last summer about the growing prevalence of 5G health claims. Google Trends data suggests British interest in 5G theories exploded in the final days of March, shortly after the lockdown was imposed. “The reality is that 5G is a technology, and coronavirus is an organic infection that is based on a living viral agent,” Mkhize explained.
