MIAMI, Jan. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ A team of Florida International University (FIU) researchers have trained detector dogs to accurately identify the COVID-19 virus.
FIU s International Forensic Research Institute (IFRI) is using its decades of experience researching and identifying odors to help train and improve the ability of detector dogs to locate COVID-19.
The COVID-19 detector dogs will be working on campus at FIU this spring as part of the effort to control the spread of the virus. Much like bomb-detecting dogs, COVID-19 detecting dogs can sweep an area and alert to the presence of the odor that is left on surfaces (particles, aerosols, cellular material) by a person infected with COVID-19. FIU s COVID detector dogs were also invited to sweep the State Emergency Operations Center in Tallahassee. They will start their work at the Florida capital next week.

Office vacancies rose across South Florida in the fourth quarter, and Broward and Palm Beach counties experienced negative net absorption of space, according to a newly released report from Colliers International.
Still, the region saw some significant deals close at the end of the year. And average asking rents in Broward and Miami-Dade counties rose, despite market uncertainty and new deliveries. With more corporate relocations to the area, plenty of newly constructed inventory could become occupied in the long run, according to the report.
Here’s a breakdown:
Miami-Dade County
Miami-Dade had an 11.3 percent vacancy rate in the fourth quarter, the lowest in the tri-county region. That’s up from 11 percent in the third quarter of 2020, and up from the 9.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2019.
As state leaders clamored for more Covid-19 vaccine doses, Joe Biden became President on Wednesday with an eye toward changing approaches to the pandemic that has claimed more than 400,000 lives in the US.
