The study will help to gain an understanding of how the immune system responds to the virus invasion
United Kingdom researchers will soon start the world’s first Covid-19 human trials to study the aftermath of the coronavirus infection on a healthy human immune system, as per media reports.
The study will help to gain an understanding of how the immune system responds to the virus invasion. It will further identify factors that influence how it is transmitted, including how a person who is infected “sheds” infectious virus particles into the environment.
For the study, the researchers involved 90 healthy adults. They will be exposed to coronavirus in a safe and controlled environment.
