evidence: A Google keyword search using "Elisa Granato" directed us to several news articles which suggested that, on 24 April, the microbiologist became the first human to be injected for the human trial phase of a vaccine in the UK against the novel coronavirus, being developed by a group of scientists at the University of Oxford. We observed that no credible news website carried the news of Elisa Granato’s death. The claim stemmed from an article titled ‘First volunteer in UK coronavirus vaccine trial has died’ published on a website called News NT. [...] Further, UK's department of health and social care has also tweeted debunking the false claim. "News circulating on social media that the first volunteer in a UK coronavirus vaccine trial has died is completely untrue," the tweet read.
