Further developments will be advised in due course."

Share price continues to trade at a 59% discount to NAV per share. Chair Anil Thadani: "Although stock markets have improved with many reaching highs last seen in February, there is still a long journey ahead for countries to rebuild their economies.

The goal is to allow testing of Covid-19 anti-viral and dental products. Scientists succeeded in populating and maintaining the virus on skin models in a way that allow such testing to take place. Investigation has been extended to include studying the viability of the virus when full coronavirus particles are transferred from plastic and metal models to the human skin model and the potential risk of infection via the skin. Also investigated will be the ability of SARS-CoV-2 to activate innate immune response on the Labskin model. Will also test virus's ability to reproduce on the skin and how long it stays viable and infectious.
