Introducing 5G technology into Guernsey should be halted because of health concerns. That is according to a petition set up on the island.

The ‘Halt 5G Now’ campaign has already received the backing of over 250 people, after calling for 5G to be postponed until experts have confirmed it poses no biological threat to humans and the environment.
