To be ethically acceptable, SARS-CoV-2 HCS would need to have multiple risk minimization strategies in place, including (i) selection of low risk participants (e.g., healthy young adults 1 ), (ii) careful strain selection and development, (iii) careful titration of viral dose, (iv) early diagnosis and availability of all necessary medical care, (v) long-term follow-up of participants, (vi) compensation for any lasting harms, and (vii) stringent infection control including measures to protect and screen research staff for infection (WHO Working Group for Guidance on Human Challenge Studies in COVID-19 2020).
