We told you about the dogs that our Miami Heat put in place to sniff out Covid. Well it looks like researcher’s at FIU are helping make that happen on campus.

According to FIU Provost and Executive Vice President Kenneth Furton,

“Our dogs are actually being used to search surfaces. So we’re looking for where people have been, you know, mostly students had been sitting in seats,” he explained. “The dogs alert gives an extra layer of protection that we can do decontamination. Whereas at the Heat they’re actually screening people with before they come into the arena.”
