Here's the Study: https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-1121993/v1

Thirty-six healthy volunteers aged 18-29 years old were enrolled according to protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria.
All participants were inoculated with 10 TCID50 of SARS-CoV-2/human/GBR/484861/2020 (a D614G-containing pre-alpha wild-type virus; Genbank Accession number OM294022) by intranasal drops (Figure 1b). Eighteen participants (53% according to the per protocol analysis, [95% CI [35,70]) subsequently developed PCR-confirmed infection.
