Thailand is trying out a new way of identifying COVID-19 infections,... sniffer dogs. Meet Angel, Bobby and Bravo,... three of the six Labrador retrievers who have been trained to be deployed as a virus detecting squad. They sniff samples of human sweat to screen out positive samples.
So far, after having tested more than a thousand samples, the results have been impressive,... with 95 percent accuracy. "It was a surprise because the dog can detect (COVID-19) even the patients that did not show any sign of the disease and we call it a asymptomatic patient."
The canine teams are to be deployed for bed-ridden patients who can't travel to get tested.
There are also hopes that the dogs could be used in coronavirus hotspots where public health officials suspect clusters,... including crowded slum communities, construction sites and large markets.
