Miami unveiled its groundbreaking quarantine guidelines, deciding to allow up to 2,000 spectators from home games next Friday.
It was decided to introduce a so-called'corona detection dog' trained to detect corona19 confirmed cases.
If the detection dog sniffs the hands of the crowd lined up outside the stadium and sits in front of a suspected person, the suspect and his/her party are prohibited from entering the stadium.
Research has shown that detection dogs capable of detecting various diseases with excellent sense of smell can detect more than 90% of asymptomatic infections, and as COVID-19 detection dogs are also active at airports in Finland, the Miami club reported that it will be of great help in quarantine. There is.
[Director Eric Spolestra/Miami: (Detective Dog) If you can search for more people and detect the virus quickly, it's great. I hope my pet dogs can learn to detect viruses.] The
club is also preparing a different quarantine system for the dog-fearing spectator, and said that in this case, it takes about 45 minutes to take longer.
