- The U.K. is set to be the first country in the world to run a Covid-19 “human challenge” study, following approval from the country’s clinical trials ethics body.
- The first Covid-19 human challenge trial will see up to 90 volunteers, aged 18-30, exposed to Covid-19 “in a safe and controlled environment.”
- The study aims to establish the smallest amount of virus needed to cause infection and to increase our understanding of how the virus affects people.
