Emerging story
Social media users have been widely circulating news that there are links between 5G wireless networks and the origins of the coronavirus. Users claimed that 5G technology causes COVID-19. Users referred to a study that shows that 5G millimeter waves could be absorbed by dermatologic cells acting like antennas, transferred to other cells, and play the main role in producing COVID-19 in biological cells.
Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar’s investigation found the all the circulating claims about 5G linked to COVID-19 false. According to the World Health Organization viruses cannot travel on radio waves/mobile networks. COVID-19 is spreading in many countries that do not have 5G mobile networks. COVID-19 is spread through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or speaks. People can also be infected by touching a contaminated surface and then their eyes, mouth, or nose.
