A group of trained Australian dogs can sniff out CoVid-infected persons with excellent and sometimes 100% accuracy.  These highly-trained canines are part of an international program coordinated by France’s National Veterinary School.

 

The animals are conditioned to detect characteristic odors emanating from the respiratory tracts of CoVid-infected persons using the same protocols used for explosive-detection training.  This work seems perfectly safe for dogs as they are resistant to CoVd-19 infection.

 

Cohorts of such trained animals will be deployed in airports, mass transit stations, and even in schools to permit instantaneous detection of CoVid-infected persons.  CoVid infection will be confirmed by standard viral testing.
