Some Nepali social media users shared 5G increases Covid-19 cases. But, it’s baseless

A false claim about 5G, which is the fifth generation of wireless telephony, is circulating among social media users in Nepal. The claim along with photos of anti-5G protests says Nepal has fewer Covid-19 cases because it has not rolled out the 5G technology; the pandemic is surging in India due to the 5G radiation and the death rates are high in the Indian states where the technology has been launched.
