Volunteers could be paid £3,500 to be infected by a form of coronavirus.
As the race to find a vaccine for the potentially deadly bug continues, volunteers in east London are being paid to endure it.
The willing participants will receive £3,500 to be purposefully infected with the virus and live in quarantine at the Queen Mary BioEnterprises Innovation Centre in Whitechapel.
They will, however, be injected with two common but much less serious strains of the virus reports the Daily Star .
Hvivo, the company behind the laboratory at Queen Mary, will be infecting 24 volunteers at a time with the 0C43 and 229E strains of the virus.
It is thought these strains will cause mild respiratory symptoms and be much less severe than the coronavirus that is currently spreading around the globe
