The UAE has completed trials using K9 Police Dogs which will enable the dogs to detect COVID-19 cases.
The dogs are immediately able to detect suspected cases by sniffing sampling from people’s armpits… How incredible is that?! The UAE carried out field experiments at health facilities and results show the tests were 92% accurate.
