Science community needs to make a definitive statement on the health and security implications of the fifth-generation cellular network

Conspiracy theorists are contending that the rollout of the fifth-generation cellular network is the cause of the Covid-19 pandemic that has gripped the world since December 2019.

Communication & digital economy minister Isa Pantami has stated that no organisation has been licensed to install 5G cables in Nigeria, though a three-month study trial was launched on November 25, 2019 “to critically review and study the health and security implications of deploying 5G in Nigeria”. There is no established scientific link between Covid-19 and 5G networks. The World Health Organisation states on its website that ‘‘after much research performed, no adverse health effect has been causally linked with exposure to wireless technology’’. It goes on to say that “health-related conclusions are drawn from studies performed across the entire radio spectrum” and that few studies “have been carried out at frequencies to be used by 5G”.
