5G in Europe

The “fifth generation” of telecommunication systems, or 5G, will be one of the most critical building blocks of EU digital economy in the next decade. Europe has taken significant steps to lead global developments towards this strategic technology.

Most European governments rely on scientific committees that hold on to one basic premise: the only documented health risk from mobile radiation is the heating of body tissues. Radiation safety limits are made to prevent this from happening. As long as these limits are respected, there is no risk to health, according these committees.

The claim that there is a link between 5G and the pandemic, nevertheless went viral in Facebook groups, messages on WhatsApp, and in YouTube videos, in parallel with Coronavirus spreading across the globe.
