Recently in Canada there has been issued NOTAMS (notice to airmen) where 5G may or may not interfere with certain functions in auto-land equipped planes. That is really the only new news about cell reception and flying

Bottom line is Canada was ahead of the curve and created protection zones around Canadian runways to limit antenna transmission power to a certain spec. Furthermore, they have exclusion zones that prohibit antenna installations within a specific area around the runway. They didn't do this in the US. Risk is very much mitigated due to these actions.
