"The 24 volunteers will be infected with two common strains of coronavirus, 0C43 and 229E, which are similar to COVID-19. However, these two strains only cause a mild respiratory illness.

The infected patients will then be used to test antiviral medications as well as help develop a vaccine for COVID-19.

Medical staff will collect nasal samples, blood and dirty tissues and measure them for the 'viral load'.

They won't be allowed to exercise or have physical contact with other people, and their diet will be controlled. "
