Is 5G network radiation the reason behind COVID-19 pandemic? No, the government has issued again a factcheck on Twitter, saying that “This claim is #FAKE.” The government said that it has come to the notice of the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) and the Ministry of Communications that several misleading messages are being circulated on various social media platforms claiming that the second wave of coronavirus has been caused by the testing of the 5G mobile towers.

“There is NO relation between 5G and the spread of the Coronavirus. The testing of the 5G network has not yet started anywhere in India,” it said. Earlier this month a press statement was issued by DoT claiming these messages are false and absolutely not correct.

To allay the fear of the general public regarding the health effects of EMF emission from mobile towers, DoT has been taking several steps to generate awareness among the public about EMF radiation. These are the Nation-wide Awareness Programme, distribution of pamphlets/ information brochures on various topics related to EMF, publishing detailed information on EMF-related issues on the website of DoT, advertisements in newspapers, the launch of “Tarang Sanchar” portal, etc.  

The field units of DoT have also been organising public awareness events so that more and more people are made aware of the scientific facts on the health effects of EMF emissions from mobile towers.
