HANOVER, GERMANY: A German veterinary clinic has trained sniffer dogs to detect the novel coronavirus in human saliva samples with 94% accuracy. The dogs are conditioned to scent out the corona odour that comes from cells in infected people, said Esther Schalke, a vet at Germany s armed forces school for service dogs. Filou, a 3-year-old Belgian Shepherd, and Joe Cocker, a 1-year-old Cocker Spaniel, are two of the dogs being trained at Hanover s University of Veterinary Medicine.
