Would you lock yourself in a room for two weeks after being infected with COVID-19? Chris Holdsworth did, and he hopes that come January that’s exactly what he’ll be doing. Chris has volunteered to be a guinea pig for a world-first study that could take place in the UK in January. It’s called a Human Challenge Trial, and it involves shutting healthy volunteers in an isolation unit like this one and deliberately infecting them with coronavirus. The Sun went inside a Human Challenge Trial isolation unit to find out more. Thanks to https://www.1daysooner.org/
