Speaking to New Zealand Radio's Checkpoint programme, he added: "I'm happy to report that my team has successfully taken five antibodies that back in 2002 were determined to bind and neutralise, block and stop the SARS virus.

"We've evolved them in our laboratory, so now they very vigorously block and stop the SARS-CoV-2 [COVID-19] virus as well."

The antibodies would make suitable medicines once they had gone through a process of human testing, Dr Glanville explained.

Describing the new virus was a "cousin" of SARS, which emerged in the far east in 2003, he added: "What we've done is we've created hundreds of millions of versions of those antibodies, we've mutated them a bit, and in that pool of mutated versions, we found versions that cross them over.
