The

Miami Heat will

use trained dogs to detect covid-19 through smell at the entrance to the American Airlines Arena, when it reopens on January 28 with a limited capacity of

1,500 people

.

The Heat indicated, on their website, that they have implemented a series of security measures against covid-19 to "help mitigate the risk of exposure" and make the game day experience as safe as possible.

"In an effort to further improve the security of guests and stadium staff, all people will be scanned upon arrival by a covid-19 detection dog," the organization notes.

In the event that a person or the group in which he is found is identified by one of the dogs trained to detect the coronavirus, the security team "will not allow any member of the group to access the interior" of the pavilion.

The Miami Heat indicated that fans who are uncomfortable with COVID-19 testing by the canine team will be able to undergo another free method of scanning before entering the stadium, but this could take about 45 minutes.

Those who take their seats 30 feet (9 meters) from the court will have to undergo

a rapid disease test there

, before the game begins.

Recent studies and research programs showed that dogs trained to identify COVID-19 cases perform these detection tasks successfully, thanks to their great sense of smell.

Since March 1, 2020, when the first case was confirmed in Florida, there have been more than 1.6 million infected in the state, of which about 25,000 have died, according to the state Department of Health count.

The United States is number one in the world, with more than

24.5 million infections and 401,000 deaths

.
