Dogs to help with Covid. Dogs❣️❣️❣️

[LakeArenal]

Dogs have already proven their ability to sniff out diseases ranging from cancer to malaria......
Researchers at the Veterinary Faculty of the University of Helsinki have been training dogs to be able to detect COVID-19 since early 2020. In May, the research group reported that it had successfully trained dogs to detect COVID-19 in urine samples. But progress has happened fast. Now, the dogs have been trained to detect COVID-19 from sweat on our skin and have started trial testing at the Helsinki Airport.

2. Ummmmm!

My sister is an ICU nurse. Our Great Pyrenees sniffs her like crazy when she comes home. We wonder what he smells that intrigues him. My sister says death. I am not so dark about it; I say, hospital smells. Gotta love dogs.

5. Stinky were you sniffed and sent over there?

Because you are stinky?

6. But can't dogs themselves become infected? How would that affect their detection abilities?
