Statement from the Australian Government Chief Medical Officer, Professor Brendan Murphy. There is no link between 5G and COVID-19.
5G does not cause COVID-19. It does not spread COVID-19. Nor does it increase the severity of COVID-19 or make people more susceptible to COVID-19.
The scientific evidence shows that wireless telecommunications, including 5G, do not weaken people’s immune systems and do not place us at higher risk of getting viruses such as COVID-19.
You can find more information about this on the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency website. Turning off your WiFi will not protect you from COVID-19.
