There is no link between 5G and COVID-19 - Minister of Communications, Isa Pantami

The Minister of Communications, Isa Pantami has again countered rumours of 5G being the root cause of COVID-19. 

 Appearing before the senate committee on communications yesterday February 25, Pantami stated that there is no link between 5G and COVID-19. He added that while the only issue being raised is usually about radiation, people don’t realise that the radiation of 4G is more harmful than that of 5G. 

 Pantami said;

 “There is no link between 5G and COVID-19. “There is no relationship between 5G and any disease, the only issue being raised usually is about radiation but people don’t realise that the radiation of 4G is more harmful than that of 5G. 

 “The radiation of microwave oven at home is more harmful than that of the 5G.” The minister further said that if there are medical and security concerns linked to 5G, he would have been a victim because he has tested the technology.
