The World Health Organisation (WHO) has thoroughly debunked the "crazy conspiracy theory" that coronavirus can be spread by 5G.
Fake news stories and rumours incorrectly suggested that COVID-19 was spreading via 5G mobile phone networks, with even Eamonn Holmes appearing to back the strange theory.
There were reports of criminal vandalism against 5G masts and telecoms workers being threatened and abused. Numerous experts have explained that the story was false - with NHS England's national medical director, Stephen Powis, calling it "complete and utter rubbish, it's nonsense, it's the worst kind of fake news." Now the World Health Organisation has also addressed the 5G story.
