NASCAR has recruited trained dogs to detect COVID-19 among its essential personnel for the Cup Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway scheduled for Sunday.
This weekend, two teams of dogs from 360 K9 Group will sniff essential workers, including NASCAR officials, race teams and vendors, entering the Atlanta track to determine if COVID-19 is detected, NASCAR announced.
If in their 30 seconds of screening they smell the virus, they will alert their handler, and the person will undergo secondary screening from the American Medical Response Safety Team’s lead doctors.
Within this trial program, the dogs will not screen Cup Series drivers or the limited number of fans allowed to enter.
The 360 K9 Group reports that clinical trials have determined dogs can use bio-detection technology to find COVID-19 in humans at 98 percent accuracy.
