Introduction

The COVID-19 pandemic and its effects in early 2020 have surprised scientists and
politicians. If any study aimed at understanding the phenomenon and which consequently
may help to clarify the causes of the pandemic is carried out, it should be promoted and/or
taken into consideration. The correlation between cases of coronavirus and the presence of
5G networks has been addressed in alternative media and social networks. It is noteworthy
that, at least in Spain, the media have not covered the scientific studies on the subject of 5G,
nor asked the government any questions about this in the daily press conferences that it
conducts to report on the state of the situation. The team of scientists advising the Spanish
government has also failed to raise this issue.

It is common sense that the ability to demonstrate this correlation would be very important
data to contribute to the understanding of, and the solution to, the problem.

Objective

To assess whether a correlation exists between cases of coronavirus and the presence of
5G networks. Without entering for the moment into subsequent cause-effect approaches in
the case of positive results. Given that there is a sufficiently large statistical sample, it is
possible for the results obtained to have a high level of reliability.

Material and methods

The study has benefited from the official statistical material published daily, which is a basic
and valuable tool. It should be noted that in these publications, the methodology used for
counting cases of coronavirus infections does not generally provide real data. In Spain and
many other countries, it has not been calculated as there are not enough tests for such
analyses. However, this does not alter the results of this study since it is based on the
comparative rather than the absolute method of infection. Therefore, in order to avoid
statistical error, we will compare the density value of confirmed cases of coronavirus
(expressed in number of cases per 1000 inhabitants) instead of absolute values. Since the
criterion for counting used by the health authorities within the same state or city is the same,
the comparison of published values for different cities or regions will be equally reliable for
statistics. Comparisons between different countries of confirmed cases, excluding
asymptomatic cases, will be equally reliable. The possible exception of some non-

transparent country that could manipulate the publication of its data is beyond the control of
this study.

The method used was to compare the incidence (no. of cases per 1000 inhabitants) between
countries with and without 5G technology. Between regions of the same country with and
without 5G technology. Between cities of the same state with and without 5G technology.
Between different neighbourhoods of the same city with the 5G network map of that city.
Comparing states with common borders with and without 5G technology. Comparing the
case of one state within another, as is the case of San Marino.

“Why San Marino? Because

the self-contained nature of the
state, and its relatively few
restrictions on the use of radio
frequency makes it the ideal
place to test the latest
development in telecoms
connectivity.

“Telecom Italia intends to

double the number of its
mobile sites within the country
and will additionally install a
network of small cells in
downtown San Marino.”

6. SPAIN: 5G COVERAGE CHART AND RATES OF INFECTION

Data for cities with 5G should be related to the number of infections in those cities. Since
data by city are not available, the comparison has been made with data for autonomous
regions. This causes the data of the capitals to be diluted with those of their region.
This is why the comparison in autonomous regions with one or two provinces is more
significant: Extremadura, Murcia, Madrid, Navarra, Rioja, Balearic Islands, Asturias or the
Canary Islands. Also in Euskadi since the three capital cities have 5G.

Results and discussion

To know whether or not the result obtained is that of a random phenomenon, a statistical
analysis of the results of an experiment must be carried to calculate the probability of the
event occurring. The probability calculation is obtained by dividing the number of favourable
cases by the number of possible cases. If the result shows that it is not a random
phenomenon, it shows sufficient causal reason to analyse the causes.

To eliminate any upward errors we will always opt for the most conservative numerical
option.

Let us therefore calculate the probability of three of the examples analysed above.

(a) Probability that the 9 most contagious countries on the planet are countries with 5G
networks.
There are 194 countries on the planet. As of 6 March 2020, according to GSMA,
there are 24 countries with 5G technology.
Pr = 24/194 x 23/193 x 22/192 (nine times in total) =
14 Study of the correlation between cases of coronavirus and

= 0.1237 x 0.1191 x 0.1145 x 0.1099 x 0.1052 x 0.1005 x 0.0957 x 0.0909 x 0.0860 =

= 1.47 x 10 (high -9 ).
The probability is 1 in 680,000,000.
If we include Japan, which also has 5G and rates of infection similar to those of South
Korea …
the probability is 1 in 8,500,000,000.

(b) Probability that the 5 most contagious countries in Europe have 5G networks.
There are 49 countries in Europe, among which it is currently difficult to know if they
currently deploy 5G, as there are 5 that have declared a moratorium, and many
others do not have operational networks although companies publish as if they were
already operational when they have signed agreements. We will calculate it
downwards, as a conservative option, we will assume that about 15 countries have
operational 5G systems.
Pr = 15/49 x 14/48 x 13/47 x 12/46 x 11/45 = 0.00157.
The probability is 1 in 637.

(c) The case of San Marino is highly significant. It is located within the Italian territory,
with a similar culture, economy, and social level, but presents much higher rates of
infection. The only difference is the time of exposure of its citizens to 5G radiation,
because it was the first state in the world to implement such technology on 4
September 2018, while in Italy it was 5 June 2019. This opens the door to debate
about the likely influence of 5G on the increase in the rates of infection.
Pr = 1/194 x 1/194.
The probability is 1 in 37,636.

These figures are eloquent enough to make calculating the other cases unnecessary.

The results for the city of Barcelona (pp. 7-8) indicate that sociological factors do not have a
significant influence on the rates of infection, but if we see a clear relationship with the 5G
coverage map, which added to the 4G coverage, gives us a correlation between mobile
coverage and the proportion of cases of coronavirus. If more data were available, this study
should be extended to other cities.

Findings

1. The results obtained demonstrate a clear and close relationship between the rate of
coronavirus infections and 5G antenna location.

2. This study does not analyse the beneficial or harmful effects on humans of 5G
electromagnetic radiation. However, it does indicate a possible cause-effect in the current
pandemic.

3. A “border effect” is significant, original and unique to this pandemic: it presents

marked differences between contiguous states with and without 5G installation. it is
particularly significant that the countries bordering China have very low rates of infection.
One may also compare between Mexico and the USA or between Portugal and Spain, etc.

4. The case of San Marino is particularly significant. It was the first state in the world to
install 5G and therefore, the state whose citizens have been exposed to 5G radiation the
longest, and suspiciously, the first state in the world with infections. The probability of this
happening is 1 in 37,636.

5. In the cities studied, Madrid, Barcelona and New York, this correlation is also
observed. In the study of the city of Barcelona (pp. 7-8), it can be seen that the socio-
economic factor plays a significant role.2

6. It is very significant that on the African continent, with scarce health resources but
without 5G, the rate of infection is very low, except for some antennas in South Africa, which
also presents the highest rates of infection in Africa.

7. The rates of infection are diluted. The rates of some regions are influenced by cities
with 5G, but the rates of infection of these cities are diluted in those of the region to which
they belong. So it is more significant, as is the case of Spain, to compare uniprovincial
autonomous regions, than among those that are formed by 3 or more of the old provinces.
Thus we see that some regions with 5G such as Rioja, Madrid and Navarra, have rates
between 4 and 8 times higher than others without 5G. The same is true in other cities around
the world where the 5G network does not cover the entire territory of the state or region.

8. These data and results have the value of being taken "in vivo", not based on
prospective or laboratory studies. Never before have we had so much epidemiological
information about a disease in humans to be able to produce scientific studies. A means of
answering the question of cause and effect would be to disconnect the 5G networks, at least
as a preventive measure, and see the results of the evolution of cases of coronavirus. So
would studying the rate of infection in a state that declared a 5G moratorium after the
pandemic started and studying if the statistics change. Given the evidence presented here,
the data and conclusions of this study urgently need to be given due consideration. Given the
current gravity of the pandemic, the media and political and health authorities have a
responsibility to take urgent action. A failure to act in the face of the findings of this study
could be considered negligent at the very least and very possibly criminal.

Translator’s note: there is a contradiction between the last paragraph of the section entitled “Results

and discussion” and paragraph 5 of the section entitled “Findings”. In one it is stated that “sociological
factors do not have a significant influence on rates of infection”, and in the other it is stated that they
do.
