More and more people have been infected by this deadly virus and scientists are desperately scrambling to find a cure to help end this epidemic.

Well, if you feel moved by the current situation and want to help contribute to the cause and also to science, there’s a way to do it and you may even paid handsomely.

Risky business

According to 9News, scientists from the UK are offering AUD7,000 (RM19,338.52) for you to be intentionally infected with the Coronavirus.

You will be held in an isolation laboratory for two weeks and you will not be allowed to exercise or have any physical contact with anyone.

The study will be done in batches of 24 patients and is carried out by London-based medical research company Hvivo, and they have named the programme as a “Flucamp”.

However, you will not be infected by the COVID-19 virus but you will instead be given the 0C43 and 229E strains of coronavirus, which are milder.

Although this research does not use the COVID-19 virus, scientist hope that they’ll find a vaccine.

Some experts believe that the COVID-19 vaccine will be ready by early 2021.
