UK dismisses 5G/coronavirus claims as 'nonsense'

The British government on Wednesday dismissed a TV presenter's claim that there could be a link between 5G technology and coronavirus as "complete nonsense".

The 5G conspiracy theory, spread widely on social media, has already led to a new telecoms mast being set alight in Ireland at the weekend. Experts have poured scorn on the claim, saying 5G is based on radio frequency and is not related to the viral outbreak.
