KLINY – In a dog training center built inside a shipping container located in a Czech mountain village, dogs named Renda, Cap and Laky are being put to the test.
They sniff at six vessels, each containing a piece of cloth with scent from patients with COVID-19, negative donors, or fake samples.
The team of dog trainers is working in their own time and report a 95-percent success rate in COVID-19 detection in samples of human scent.
“The study is designed to verify dogs’ ability to detect COVID-19 and generate a method enabling the use of trained dogs in combatting the pandemic,” project head Gustav Hotovy said. (AFP)
