Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether trained medical detection dogs can accurately detect the presence of COVID-19 in people infected with the virus, or using samples of their clothing or body odour.

The study will train dogs to identify and discriminate between individuals wearing clothing collected from people infected with SARS-CoV-2 and uninfected individuals under semi-field conditions.Following this training, field testing will be used to determine whether trained dogs can distinguish between people infected with SARS-CoV-2 and uninfected individuals, producing estimates of dogs' sensitivity and specificity.
