A woman has posted a video of herself confronting workers who were laying fibre optic cables in East London and labelling them killers, over a conspiracy theory claiming that 5G caused the global coronavirus pandemic.

In the video, the amicable workers calmly tell the woman they are laying fibre optic cables for the upcoming 5G network.

But they are left bemused when the unknown woman appears to tell them that the 5G fibre is the reason behind the coronavirus outbreak.

The two men turn around bemused as the woman hurls false claims at them about the impact of 5G

The woman says: 'You know when they turn this on, it's going to kill everyone. That's why they're building the hospitals.

'We're all going to be in hospital on breathing apparatus. It's because of this wire here', before she dubs it 'a kill switch!'

At one point in the video, the woman bombards the workers, saying that they will be responsible for the death of their families.

She rants: 'How do you feel? Do you have children? Do you have parents? How do you feel? When they turn that switch on, you can say "Bye Bye Mama"

'Are you content to continue doing that job? Are you paid enough to kill her?'

Social media has been rife with conspiracies regarding the coronavirus pandemic, however one of the most enduring conspiracy theories centre around 5G.

The unidentified woman continues to barrage the workers with theories of 5G being linked to the global outbreak of coronavirus

Some theorists believe that 5G is the root of the global coronavirus outbreak and that it negatively impacts immune systems, despite the claim being debunked by fact-checking organisations in January.

A viral post widely shared on Facebook, which claimed that 5G was rolled out of Wuhan, the Chinese city at the centre of the early outbreak, now carries a warning that it has been debunked by independent fact-checking charity 'Full Fact'.

Last month, 5G was found to be safe by the radiation watchdog stating that there was no scientific evidence that the technology posed a threat to human health.

Furthermore, 'Full Fact' found no evidence that Wuhan was the first city to receive 5G coverage, instead pointing out it was one of several Chinese cities where early 5G trials took place.

According to the HuffPost, Dr. Georges C. Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association, said: 'COVID-19 is caused by a virus that came through a natural animal source and has no relation to 5G or any radiation linked to technology.'

The bizarre incident took place on Troon Street in Limehouse, East London. The identity of the woman who filmed the footage is unknown.

However the viral clip surfaced online earlier today and has been widely shared on social media, with many online users condemning the woman and her claims.
