While myths around the topic (although inexcusable) are common, However on Twitter, we stumbled upon a video where a lady claimed that 5G is majorly responsible for the spreading of COVID-19.
No, this isn't a typo, this is exactly what she said, on a video whilst talking about COVID-19 -- with striking new cases surfacing every day.

People on Twitter surely reacted hilariously, seeing the video.
Yes, we know what kind of bullcrap this is. While some might find it hilarious or cringy, at a time when the world is trying to stay calm in such a situation, videos like these by such pseudo theorists only make it worse.
There are various kinds of rumours and myths that surround the web today about the novel coronavirus. Some say it spreads from eating meat, some say hand sanitizers don't work against it (which is so not true), and then there are some who think 5G has got something to do with it.
Whenever you hear anything about COVID-19, we strongly recommend that you cross-check the information online or through online research journals who would be able to provide accurate factual evidence pertaining to the situation that can be thoroughly relied upon instead of mere social media or WhatsApp forwards.
If you do come across people trying to spread such fake news, report the original sender of the news to prevent him/her from spreading fake news in future.
