Finland deploys coronavirus-sniffing dogs at main airport
Officials at the main airport in Finland’s capital are using dogs to trace coronavirus patients.
The pilot project began at Helsinki’s airport earlier this week. A team of 15 dogs are being trained for the job. They detect coronavirus by sniffing passenger samples. A passenger swipes their neck with a gauze, puts it in a can handed over to another room. There, a dog starts sniffing it to deliver an immediate result. Researchers say the project looks promising. Researchers say a dog can detect the presence of the coronavirus within ten seconds.
They say dogs are a good choice for the job, because they are not easily infected.
Finland is the first European country to put dogs to work sniffing out Covid-19.
