A German study has found that dogs are able to detect COVID-19 from the scent of a patient’s saliva.

The study was conducted by the University of Veterinary Medicine in Hanover, Germany, to discover whether dogs can tell the difference between a person diagnosed with COVID-19 and a person who isn’t, through their saliva.
