Dogs Sniffing Covid From Sweat Fare Almost as Well as PCR Tests This content was published on May 19, 2021 - 12:25 May 19, 2021 - 12:25 (Bloomberg) Dogs are able to detect Covid-19 in humans, a new study showed, paving the way for the broader use of sniffing canines in a global effort to contain the pandemic. The dogs’ detection reached 97% sensitivity in the French study, meaning that’s how well the canines could identify positive samples. The sniffing was also 91% specific, which rates the dogs’ ability to identify negatives. The sensitivity rating beats that of many 15-minute antigen tests, which tend to be better at ruling out infection than at finding it.

According to Bloomberg reporter Corinne Gretler, the study from France’s National Veterinary School found the dogs’ detection reached 97% sensitivity. “The really impressive thing is that their sensitivity rating beats that of many of these 15-minute antigen tests that have been available to consumers. And these antigen tests tend to be better at ruling out infection than at finding it,” Gretler told WCBS 880. “So, you know, it really means that virus sniffing dogs could potentially be more widely deployed in areas like airports, train stations or really wherever crowds amassed to screen people.”
