SYDNEY: Australian researchers hope to start human trials of a coronavirus antibody therapy in early 2021, while a large-scale trial of a vaccine could begin by the end of this year, scientists said on Wednesday .of the pandemic with 24 deaths.

Almost 64 per cent of Australia's 549 deaths from COVID-19 have occurred among residents of aged-care homes, mostly in Victoria.AdvertisementSeparately, the University of Queensland said its scientists had reported to the International Society for Vaccines that their"molecular clamp" vaccine had been found to be effective in hamsters and could be manufactured at scale.

The"molecular clamp" technology adds a gene to viral proteins to stabilise them and trick the body into thinking it is seeing a live virus so it makes antibodies against it. Premier Daniel Andrews said the government needed the legal certainty to be able to set restrictions, which would be the"lightest touch possible" while the economy reopens.
