Airport dogs could sniff out coronavirus
Detection dogs are trained to detect specific
substances, such as explosives, drugs, and firearms. They are usually deployed
at airports where such items are illegally carried in. There also are sniffing
dogs that are specially trained for medical purposes. They can detect specific
odors that come out of humans who have certain medical conditions like malaria or
cancers.
Now, there is one thing that customs, immigration,
and health offices of any country worry the most in common. COVID-19. So, researchers in the UK have picked up several super sniffing dogs and are now training them to detect
the novel virus. Those dogs are being trained to learn the odors of the people who
have been tested positive, specifically from their face masks and nylon socks,
which the researchers found the most effective for training. If successful, a
COVID-19 sniffing dog can screen as many as 250 people per hour.
Another new safety procedure may be seen at
the airport soon.
