As one such possible was the Queen Mary BioEnterprises Innovation Centre in London is eyeing for 24 volunteers who will volunteer to get injected with the dreaded coronavirus and participate in their flu camp.
Going into details, the experts at the Queen Mary BioEnterprises Innovation Centre, in Whitechapel, London, will infect batches of 24 healthy people with 0C43 and 229E strains of the virus to see if the vaccine works on not.
The volunteers who will be at the Innovation Centre will have to spend two weeks in isolation and eat a restricted diet and they will also not have any physical contact with other people during the study.
