Three in 10 people who wrongly believe that 5G is causing Covid-19 symptoms have gone outside despite suspecting they may have the virus, compared with just 4% among those who reject this belief.

错误地认为5G会导致新冠肺炎症状的人中，有30%的人曾在怀疑自己可能感染了病毒后外出，而在不相信这种观点的人中，这一比例仅为4%。

'Our findings suggest that social media use is linked both to false beliefs about Covid-19 and to failure to follow the clear-cut rules of the lockdown,' said Dr Daniel Allington, senior lecturer in social and cultural artificial intelligence at King's College London.

伦敦国王学院社会与文化人工智能高级讲师丹尼尔·阿林顿博士说：“我们的研究结果表明，社交媒体的使用既与人们对新冠肺炎的错误认识有关，也与不遵守明确的封锁规定有关。”

'This is not surprising, given that so much of the information on social media is misleading or downright wrong.

“这并不奇怪，因为社交媒体上的很多信息都是误导性的，或者是完全错误的。”

'Now that some of the lockdown rules are being relaxed, people will have to make more and more of their own decisions about what is safe or unsafe - which means that access to good-quality information about Covid-19 will be more important than ever.

“现在一些封锁规定正在放松，人们就得自己决定什么是安全的，什么是不安全的——这意味着获得关于新冠肺炎的高质量信息将比以往任何时候都更加重要。”
