The research found that people who are infected with coronavirus give off a distinct odour, and while humans can t necessarily pick up on it, these highly trained dogs can detect it with pinpoint precision. The study was carried out by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and six clever canines from Medical Detection Dogs (MDD).
Using a double-blind approach - i.e. neither the dogs nor the researchers could themselves know which was which - the MDD Covid detection dogs, essentially, had to sniff socks worn for 12 hours by volunteers across the UK. Gross but we thank you all for your sacrifice.
