Even after President Trump’s announcement to soon reopen America’s businesses, the fact appears to be a nightmare to the whole country. Making all efforts to save the US from suffering another COVID-19 outbreak crisis, researchers in Pennsylvania are training dogs to help them complete this mission.

In particular, at the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Veterinary Medicine, a pilot program is being conducted to train scent-detecting dogs to be able to differentiate between the saliva and urine of those who've tested positive for COVID-19 and those who are not infected.
According to the school’s latest update, the project could initiate the next step that is called the preliminary screening of human beings in July as the earliest.
At the beginning of the three-week course, eight dogs will be trained to get used to the saliva and urine samples of COVID-19 confirmed cases. Then they will be sitting the test that can assess whether they can distinguish between COVID-19 positive and negative patients or not.

Many questions about the safety of both researchers and dogs have been raised soon after the school released the announcement. In reply to those queries, Dr. Cynthia Otto, who is the director of Penn Vet’s Working Dog Center, explained that the samples used in their project would contain the virus that was entirely inactivated but still maintained the odors.
In fact, this project is not a wholly new idea because they did try to work on malaria-detecting dogs. It is not developed to totally replace the traditional testing methods, either. But it still has the potential to detect COVID-19 patients who are not suffered from the typical symptoms of the disease especially in crowded places like airports and businesses.
