Link between 5G, second covid-19 wave ‘false, baseless’, says DoT

The department of telecommunications (DoT) on Monday called out the link between 5G wireless technology and the second wave of covid-19 false and incorrect, urging people not to be misguided by misinformation and rumours in the matter.

“The claims linking the 5G technology with the covid-19 pandemic are false and have no scientific basis. Moreover, it is informed that the testing of the 5G network has not yet started anywhere in India. Hence, the claim that 5G trials or networks are causing coronavirus in India are baseless and false,” the DoT said in a statement.
