They’re also immune to the virus, so you don’t have to worry about them catching it.
“When you have a disease, your body odour changes,” James Logan, head of the Department of Disease Control at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine,. “And dogs are an excellent example of being able to detect smells and also learn those smells. That’s what we’re aiming to do with COVID-19.”
Researchers think this would be especially useful for people who are asymptomatic, and hope to deploy the dogs in public places like airports, train stations and stadiums. And there would be no fear of transmitting the virus to the dogs, since, unlike cats,Dogs would be able to detect COVID-19 through body odour, which makes sense, considering they can also be trained to sniff out bombs, drugs, and various human diseases.It’s not just the U.K. that’s testing this out.
