Theory of 5G spreading COVID-19 “a hoax that has no technical basis”: UN agency
The latest high-speed broadband technology 5G is not responsible for the spread of the COVID-19 and any theory of a link between it and the coronavirus is “a hoax that has no technical basis”, UN agency for information and communications technology has said.
As the COVID-19 pandemic spread across the world almost four months ago, 5G phone masts have reportedly been damaged or destroyed in several European countries, including Ireland, Cyprus and Belgium.
In the UK, dozens of towers were targeted and engineers abused on the job, a UN News report said.
A spokesperson for International Telecommunications Union (ITU) Monika Gehner told the UN News on Wednesday that the theory of a link between 5G and COVID-19 is “a hoax that has no technical basis”.
