My dog spent a lot of time sniffing me intently when I had covid. So I can see it would work.

To be honest, this is questionable. I know very well what a dog's scent is, but isn't it much harder to identify Covid?

They can train dogs to find cancer and all sorts now. I think the most amazing ones are the dogs that can detect someone will have a seizure (epilepsy etc) before the human has any idea and get them to lie down safely.
