5G Rumours on Social Media Cause Hysteria in North Macedonia

Citizens in North Macedonia have rung the alarm on Saturday, after a video allegedly showing a 5G transmitter being installed in the Macedonian municipality of Bogovinje was shared on social networks.

As a result, the mayor of the municipality, Albon Xhemaili, had to contact the Ministry of Transport and Communications, the Ministry of Environment and the Agency for Electronic Communications to check whether 5G network equipment was really installed in the village of Tetovo.

This comes after citizens complained that workers from the telecom operator, A1, were installing equipment to transmit a 5G signal. A1 denied such claims.
