The country’s health minister has dismissed as fake news ongoing rumours that the rollout of 5G networks is linked to Covid-19 infections. coronavirus lockdown Day6

Mkhize’s dismissal comes as the country continues to be gripped by various conspiracy theories from how the virus is spread and how blacks and non-travellers are immune from it.

The fake news suggests that Wuhan, the Chinese city where the virus was first recorded last December, turned on its advanced 5G technology in November. So according to the fake news, the virus was caused by the technology. Answering questions from the media on Tuesday in Durban, Mkhize said 5G was a technology issue while Covid-19 was a virus. He said at this difficult time, people must use facts instead of fake news to fight the pandemic gripping the country.

At the same media briefing, Mkhize announced that as government they were worried that it was beginning to also pick up infections in densely populated townships like Alexandra in Johannesburg and Khayelitsha in Cape Town. “The approach we are going to be taking is that we are going to be unveiling, in the next three days, additional mobile testing vans which would be deployed to a number of provinces, particularly the ones where the problem is the biggest.

At the moment there are 5 000 field workers, Mkhize said, and the number would soon be doubled as the government steps up efforts to fight the spread of the virus. At the heart of this increase is teaming up with non-governmental organisations to work with state nurses.
