Francesco Vaia, the health director
of Rome's Spallanzani infectious-diseases hospital, told ANSA on
Monday that over 3,000 people have volunteered to take part in
human trials on an Italian-developed COVID-19 vaccine.
The hospital is set to start testing the vaccine on 90 people
later this month.
Vaia said the response to the appeal for volunteers showed the
"great heart of the Italian people".
