He trained dogs capable of detecting ncov infected from the smell of socks or their clothes with high sensitivity and short time.

British scientists on May 24 said that Dogs sniffing Covid-19 will soon be deployed at the airport or winter gathering places, helping to screen hundreds of people down the plane within half an hour, with sensitivity

Veterinary scientific researchers, University of Hanover, Germany, introduced the Filou, 3-year-old dog, capable of detecting Covid-19 on the sample of his saliva, on February 3.

They are trained to smell 3,500 smells in the form of unloading or t-shirts donated by medical staff or people.

"Dogs can be a great way to monitor a large number of people quickly, compartment Covid-19 re-intrusion," Steve Lindsay, Professor of Biology, University of Durham, the participant in the study, said.

James Logan, a disease control expert at London's Tropical School and Tropical Medicine, the head of the project, said that the advantages of dogs sniffing compared to other testing methods such as quick testing is "speed

The study of British scientists was published online today, added to other Finnish, German, Chile and countries that are testing the method of using Dogs to sniff Covid-19 at the airport

Dogs in the study in the UK were trained for several weeks, by introducing 200 smells from NCOV positive people, as well as 200 synergistic samples from negative people.

The children with the highest detection performance in the test have seen NCOV in samples with sensitivity of up to 94.3%, meaning the risk of detecting a very low false negative, and the specificity of up to 92%

Logan's team said that this accuracy was higher than the World Health Organization's recommendation (WHO), compared with the rapid testing method with sensitivity from 58% to 77%.

"Research on evidence of this theory shows that Covid-19's trained dogs can be used in places such as airports, stadiums, concerts," Lawrence Young, Virus Study House

"The question needs to be answered whether this approach is effective in reality on humans, not on socks or clothes?"
