Six dogs detected the smell of the coronavirus on clothing and masks in a Phase 1 trial by scientists, CNN reports.
The collaborative study between the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, Durham University and the group Medical Detection Dogs found the canines’ sensitivity rate in smelling was 82% to 94% under controlled conditions.
James Logan, who led the testing, says the results are encouraging. Dogs could detect Covid with incredible speed and accuracy - even if a person was asymptomatic.
Chemical analysis has found a distinct smell associated with the virus and researchers are working to identify the chemicals that make up the odor.
