Researchers train dogs to detect the virus
As pharmaceutical companies race to find new fast-results coronavirus (COVID-19) tests, they may have a hard time beating the one that nature developed. It’s called a dog.
Research published today says that dogs can be trained to sniff the virus, and researchers recommend deploying canines at airports to test departing and arriving passengers.
