It is reported that the company Hvivo, which owns the British innovation center Queen Mary BioEnterprises, will create a group of 24 volunteers. Participants will be infected with strains of the 0C43 and 229E virus, which cause mild respiratory symptoms. They are considered less dangerous than Covid-19.

Volunteers will be quarantined for two weeks: during this period they plan to completely cure them of the disease. Scientists believe that the vaccine that can overcome these strains will defeat the coronavirus.

It is noted that the participants in the experiment will receive payment in case of complete passage of quarantine, adherence to a special diet and complete lack of contact with any of their friends. They will also be barred from doing exercise.
