BANGKOK (AP) â Thailand has started deploying a canine virus-detecting squad in hopes of quickly identifying people with COVID-19 as the country faces a surge in cases, with clusters at construction sites, crowded slum communities and large markets.
Thailand has started using a canine, virus-detecting squad in the hope of quickly identifying people with Covid-19 as the country faces a surge in cases.
Angel, Bobby and Bravo are among six Labrador retrievers that have been trained by researchers at the veterinary faculty of Bangkok’s Chulalongkorn University to sniff out a unique odour that people with Covid-19 produce in their sweat, the researchers say.
Since May 10, the three have tested more than 1,000 samples from college staff, students and people outside the university.
The results so far are impressive. After a few seconds of sniffing sweat samples placed in metal containers, the dogs can tell which people have Covid-19 infections. If there’s no trace of infection, the dog will walk pass the sample. If it is positive, it will sit in front of it.

BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand on Friday deployed dogs trained to detect coronavirus infections by sniffing samples of human sweat, as the country deals with a spike in infections, including many without symptoms of the virus.
Three of six trained Labradors made their debut at Bangkok s Chulalongkorn University after trials that the project leader said had shown a success rate of about 95%, with about 2,000 samples sniffed this month. The canines are very fast at screening, said co-researcher Thitiwat Sirprasart. At this pace, we are able to isolate those whom we suspect are infected from those who are virus-free.
