COVID-19 sniffing dogs being deployed in Massachusetts

Starting today, a Massachusetts county will be turning to dogs to help fight COVID-19.

The Bristol County Sheriff’s office is adding a team of COVID-19 sniffing dogs to its force, a first for the country, CBS 4 WBZ reports.

The K-9s have been specifically trained to detect the coronavirus, which has a certain scent, in a way that mirrors how they sniff out drugs or bombs, the outlet notes. . . 

 

 

The two nine-month-old labs will be deployed for detection at public facilities including schools, town buildings, nursing homes and more.
