The telecom department on Monday said in a press statement that there is no link between 5G technology and spread of COVID-19 and they are urged not to be misguided by the false information and rumours spread in this matter. The claim that 5G trials or networks are causing coronavirus in India is “false” and have no scientific basis. Moreover, it is informed that the testing of the 5G network has not yet started anywhere in India. 

In the official release, it is mentioned that “Mobile towers emit non-ionizing Radio frequencies having very minuscule power and are incapable of causing any kind of damage to living cells including human beings” . Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has prescribed norms for exposure limit for the Radio Frequency Field (i.e. Base Station Emissions) which are 10 times more stringent than the safe limits prescribed by International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and recommended by WHO.

Informing the initiatives already taken, the DoT said it has a well-structured process so that operators strictly adhere to these prescribed norms.

“However, any citizen having any apprehension about any mobile tower emitting radio waves beyond the safe limit prescribed by the department, a request for EMF measurements/testing can be made on Tarang Sanchar portal at https://tarangsanchar.Gov.In/emfportal,” the department said.

According to LG, the company’s phone inventory will continue to be available for sale and it also provides service support and software updates for customers of existing mobile products for a period of time which will vary by region.

Core technologies developed during the two decades of LG’s mobile business operations will also be retained and applied to existing and future products “said LG.

The complete shutdown of the mobile phone business unit is likely to take place by July 31 but the inventory of some of its existing models may still be available after that date.
