Amid speculations and controversies, the World Health Organisation (WHO) says 5G mobile network cannot escalate or spread Coronavirus.

It insisted that viruses cannot travel on radio waves or mobile networks, saying COVID-19 is a respiratory disease.

WHO said COVID-19 spreads through respiratory droplets of an infected person when he coughs, sneezes or speaks.

.

“People can also be infected by touching a contaminated surface and then their eyes, mouth or nose.

“COVID-19 is spreading in many countries that do not have 5G mobile networks,” WHO said in a statement on Friday.

According to WHO,  being infected with the new Coronavirus does not mean that the person would be infected with the virus forever.
“People recover from the disease.

“MostCOVID-19infected persons can recover and eliminate the virus from their bodies.“If you are infected by the disease, make sure you treat your symptoms.

“If you have cough, fever, and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early, but call your health facility by telephone first.

“Most patients recover thanks to supportive care,” said.

It added that exposure to Sun or to temperatures higher than 25C degrees would not prevent COVID-19.

“You can be infected withCOVID-19, no matter how sunny or hot the weather is. Countries with hot weather have reported cases of COVID-19,” the organisation noted.

It said to be protected from the virus, people should ensure frequent and thorough hand washing and avoid touching eyes, mouth, and nose.
