NEWS on COVID-19 in Hawaii: Hawaii canines being trained to sniff out the scent of coronavirus
“At Assistance Dogs of Hawaii’s Maui campus, four canines are preparing for pandemic work.
The dogs — Sadie, Sam, Tess and Yuki — will be trained to sniff out the scent of coronavirus.
‘They have such an amazing sense of smell. It’s over 100,000 times stronger than ours,’ said Maureen Maurer, ADH’s executive director.
Maurer and her team will train the super sniffers to block out background smells and zero in on COVID.
Respiratory illnesses give off a distinctive odor.
‘We have done other research studies on dogs detecting bacterial infections in humans. They had an accuracy rate of close to 99%,’ Maurer said.
The dogs will train by smelling clothing worn by coronavirus patients.”
