SOUTHWEST Fla. - Have you heard 5G causes coronavirus?

The claim first came from a Facebook post on March 19. This post has now been archived on Facebook and marked as misinformation.

The poster claims to have done some research and made a map. They overlaid AT&T's 5G towers over a New York Times map of the current COVID-19 cases.
