Link between 5G, second covid-19 wave ‘false, baseless’, says DoT

Live Mint  

The department of telecommunications on Monday called out the link between 5G wireless technology and the second wave of covid-19 false and incorrect, urging people not to be misguided by misinformation and rumours in the matter. The government’s statement follows several misleading messages on social media platforms, claiming that the second wave of covid-19 has been caused after the DoT allowed the trials for 5G, or fifth generation, wireless service last week. It allowed Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd, Bharti Airtel Ltd, Vodafone Idea Ltd and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd to conduct trials for 5G with the help of original equipment manufacturers and technology providers such as Ericsson, Nokia Corp and C-Dot, or Centre for Development of Telematics. The DoT allowed six months for 5G trials including two months for procurement and setting up of necessary equipment. The DoT said it has taken several measures to create awareness among public about electromagnetic field radiation and allay their concerns over emissions from mobile towers.
