A Tweet by the UK Government Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport refutes the conspiracy theories linking 5G networks to COVID-19.A tweet by UK Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport states they are aware of inaccurate information shared online about 5G there is no credible evidence of a link between 5G and Novel coronavirus.

A youtube video shows the British Cabinet Officer Minister Michael Gove, speaking at the press conference and a question asked by a reporter about the conspiracy theory that 5G telecommunications poles could play a role in the spread of the disease, in reply to that he said it is just nonsense. He was joined by the national medical director of the NHS, Stephen Powis who also added that the theory of 5G networks is fake and baseless.

A summary by Electromagnetic Field (EMF) measurements near 5G mobile phone base stations in the UK, the Public Health England (PHE) mentioned that the overall exposure to 5G has no consequences for the public health. (Page 1).

The information provided by the World Health Organisation states that 5G or Fifth Generation is the latest wireless mobile phone technology. and also added that after much research performed there is no adverse health effect has been causally linked with exposure to wireless technologies.

Thus, it is concluded that 5G networks do not spread coronavirus and also does not cause an adverse health effect.
