No link between 5G technology and spread of #COVID19. It has come to notice of (DoT) Ministry of Communications- several misleading messages are being circulated on social media platforms that the second wave of coronavirus has been caused by the testing of the 5G mobile towers. 
As per a press statement issued by DoT these messages are false. The press statement informs that general public is hereby informed that there is no link between 5G technology and spread of #COVID19 and they are urged not to be misguided by false information
The claims linking 5G technology with #COVID19 pandemic are false and have no scientific basis. It is informed that the testing of 5G network has not yet started anywhere in India. Hence, the claim that 5G Trials or networks are causing coronavirus in India is baseless and false.
Mobile towers emit non-ionizing Radio frequencies having very minuscule power and are incapable of causing any kind of damage to living cells including human beings.
DoT has prescribed norms for exposure limit for Radio Frequency Field (i.e. Base Station Emissions) which are 10 times more stringent than safe limits prescribed by International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), recommended by WHO.
A citizen having any apprehension about any mobile tower emitting radio waves beyond the safe limit prescribed by the department, a request for EMF measurements/testing can be made on Tarang Sanchar portal at tarangsanchar.gov.in/emfportal .
To allay fear of general public regarding health effects of EMF emission from mobile tower, DoT has been taking steps to generate awareness among public on EMF radiation- Nation-wide Awareness Programme, distribution of pamphlets/ information brochure on topics related to EMF
The field units of DoT have also been organizing public awareness events so that more and more people are made aware about the scientific facts on health effects of EMF emissions from mobile towers.
