“The mission of dogs is to literally sniff out passengers with coronavirus. The research has shown a 92% accuracy of smell,” writes Trendel and Leisure. Dogs' sense of smell is many times sharper than human; therefore, it is often used to find bombs or drugs. Training dogs to detect coronavirus is serious and time-consuming. It requires a laboratory, special equipment and sweating of sick people. Dubai Airport was the first airport to decide to use dogs to fight coronavirus. They will work remotely without coming into contact with people. Dubai opened for tourists in July. Travelers are required to obtain a COVID-19 negative certificate no sooner than 96 hours before the trip.
