The UK government has signed a contract for a company to conduct the first human challenge studies for the novel coronavirus. Healthy volunteers will be vaccinated, then deliberately infected with the virus in a controlled setting. Up to 19 volunteers at a time will take part in the trials, which will be held at the Royal Free Hospital in London, which houses a Biosafety Level 3 ward. CNN’s Phil Black reports.
