GENEVA, March 3 (NNN-Xinhua) — Researchers in Switzerland have launched a training trial to see if sniffer dog can find out people infected with COVID-19.
The study, as a collaboration among HUG, the largest university hospitals in Switzerland, and the Swiss Army and United Nations Department of Safetly and Security, is expected to have a final result by March.
Initial results from France, Germany and several other countries have shown that trained sniffer dogs are able to recognize people with COVID-19 infections, the statement said.
Sniffer dog could be an inexpensive, relatively simple and friendly alternative of screening methods currently used for slowing down COVID-19 transmission, said Dr. Manuel Schibler, physician of the Infectious Diseases Department at HUG. — NNN-XINHUA
