Remember Covid-19 - It's Still Killing People

In the U.K. a study is underway to determine the capabilities of dogs to screen for Covid-19 in humans.  The first group of dogs is in training now and, if successful, replication of the training could unleash packs of virus detection dogs into public places and large group functions.  Dogs making the world safe.

Using dogs to smell disease is not a new idea, and trials have shown that dogs can sniff out several diseases, including malaria, diabetes, and several types of cancer.

Now, a new British study will assess whether dogs can also detect COVID-19. Medical Detection Dogs, an organization known for research into canine olfactory diagnostics, will train dogs to detect the odor of disease with the aim of developing faster, more efficient and less invasive diagnostics.
