The British University of Oxford has resumed its clinical trials of an anti-Coronavirus vaccine (Covid-19 /), after a hiatus of several days due to the illness of one of the volunteers participating in the experiments.

Today, the university said that the decision to resume the trials came after conducting a review of the trials by an independent committee and the British Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Authority, and subsequently considered that the situation is safe to continue the trials.

The company / AstraZeneca / Pharmaceutical Industries, which is developing the vaccine in cooperation with the university, announced last Tuesday that the trials had been temporarily stopped to investigate whether the reported side effect was related to the vaccine.
