Your country needs poo – or rather some Norfolk-based scientists do.
Experts at the Quadram Institute, the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital and the James Paget University Hospital are looking for people to come forward and participate in a study to help them understand more about Covid-19.
They are collecting stool and saliva samples from people who have tested positive for the coronavirus in the past, so they can better understand how it affects the human gut.
More than 60pc of people who test positive for the virus show symptoms such as diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting, while SARS-CoV-2, which causes Covid-19, has been found in their faecal matter.
