epa08690435 Arriving from Riga, Juha Turku (L), first passenger to be tested for Coronavirus by Susanna Paavilainen (R) and her dog, greyhound mix Kossi as four Coronavirus sniffing dogs start their work for a four-month test phase at Helsinki-Vantaa airport near Helsinki, Finland, 23 September 2020. The dogs are operated by Finnish Wise Nose association that has also taken care of their training. Upon arriving at a sampling point at the airport, a passenger enters a small, screen-bound space, then takes a voluntary self-sweeping sample from the skin surface and drops it into a designated container as instructed. The dog and its handler wait behind a wall where the dog sniffs the given sample. In this way, allergic passengers are taken into account and care is taken to ensure that handlers are not exposed to the virus. The whole procedure is over in a minute says Anna Hielm-Bjoerkman, docent of veterinary medicine in charge of Corona-sniffing dog project at Helsinki University. Officials say dogs are able to detect coronavirus from a significantly lower amount of viruses than commonly used PCR tests. In practice, therefore, a dog will be able to detect a coronavirus in a person earlier than laboratory tests. In case of a positive result, the passenger is directed to Helsinki University Hospital's information point for further action. EPA-EFE/MAURI RATILAINEN

Eksperiment je finansirala vlada, a pse je dresiralo Finsko udruženje za otkrivanje mirisa.

“To je vrlo obećavajuća metoda. Psi jako dobro njuše”, rekla je profesorka medicine kopitara i malih životinja na Univerzitetu u Helsinkiju Ana Hielm-Bjorkman.

“Ako uspije, biće to dobra metoda za provjeru koronavirusa na bilo kom drugom mjestu”, rekla je ona, navodeći bolnice, luke, domove za starije osobe, sportska mjesta i kulturna događanja kao mjesta na koja bi dresirani psi mogli „početi da rade“.
