All converge on the identical conclusion: there isn’t a demonstrated influence beneath well being requirements. Publicity ranges in France are on common 200 instances decrease than these requirements. Nevertheless, I’m conscious that a few of our fellow residents proceed to surprise. This is the reason in 2021 we are going to triple the controls to make 10,000, half of which on 5G. However underneath these circumstances, the federal government assumes its deployment.
