The official said “There is 0% connection between COVID-19 and 5G technologies”, they advised people don’t believe in false information in this matter.”

Theories relating 5G technologies to the COVID-19 pandemic are unfounded and lack empirical support. Furthermore, there are yet to be any trials of the 5G network in India. As a result, the ministry explained that the assertion that 5G trials or networks are triggering coronavirus in India is “baseless and misleading.”

Mobile towers emit non-ionizing radio waves with very low power levels that are incapable of harming living cells, including humans.

The Department of Telecommunication has established exposure levels for the radiofrequency area (base station emissions) that are ten times higher than the safe limits set by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Safety (ICNIRP) and recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO).

The Department of Telecommunication has initiated a national advertising campaign to assuage concerns about the health impacts of EMF emissions from towers. The department is circulating pamphlets or information brochures on a variety of EMF-related subjects, posting extensive information on EMF-related issues on the Department of Telecommunication website, ads in newspapers, and launching the “Tarang Sanchar” platform, among other things.

The Department of Telecommunication field divisions has also been holding public awareness activities to raise awareness about the scientific evidence on the health impacts of EMF pollution from towers.

More than 30% countries run 5G technology

In February 2020, the California-based network research firm Viavi Solutions released a survey dubbed The Status of 5G Deployments, claiming that 5 G was at least partly accessible in 378 cities across 34 countries. The below is a list of cities that have 5 G technology: –

According to research, the key advantages of 5G technology include faster transmissions, reduced latency and hence greater capability of remote execution, a greater range of linked devices, and the ability to integrate virtual networks (network slicing), allowing for more tailored access to specific requirements.
