French dog specialists teach members of the Ecuadorian Red Cross, Fire Brigade, Army and Navy how to train dogs to sniff out Covid-19, which in the Latin American country has caused nearly 21,500 deaths and more than 453,000 infections (2,374 per 100,000 inhabitants).
In France, dogs are being trained to detect Covid using human sweat. The project is being developed by Bordeaux University Hospital, in association with Ceva Santé animale, the leading French veterinary laboratory.
Sniffer dogs are usually used to detect drugs or explosives. But at Helsinki airport in Finland, they're being utilised to test for coronavirus.
Medical detection dogs already have a successful history catching the presence of malaria and certain types of cancers in humans.
