And, not to worry, theyโre not being exposed to the virus
โโฆ โIn the case of detecting COVID-19, the dogs never actually have any exposure to the live virus. Rather, they are trained to detect the biomarkers associated with COVID-19 disease in humans. These biomarkers are the proteins that the human immune system produces in response to the presence of the virus and not the actual virus. The goal is to train dogs to detect the disease state before a person starts showing signs of disease such as fever, coughing, and shortness of breath,โ Maughan added. โฆโ
