As the spread of Coronavirus intensifies, Scientists are looking for 24 individuals who are willing to volunteer to be infected with the widespread disease in an experiment to develop a vaccine for the deadly virus that is causing panic across the globe.
According to the Daily Mail, volunteers will be paid £3,500, an equivalent of approximately Sh471,588 by the Queen Mary BioEnterprises Innovation Centre in Whitechapel, London for the study.
The study will test if a jab developed by Hvivo will successfully kill the COVID-19. Volunteers are set to be injected with two weaker strains (0C43 and 229E) of the virus.
To get their paycheck, participants will then be required to stay in quarantine for two weeks and eat a restricted diet.
They will only interact with scientists who will then assess their response to the vaccine while wearing protective clothing in a well-ventilated room.
