COVID-19 carrying dog-handler volunteers to train dog to diagnose, test coronavirus
[Arutz 7] - Israel Dog Unit (IDU) dog-handler Bram Settenbrino, who is presently quarantined with the coronavirus, volunteered to pilot test and train his personal weapons-sniffing service canine to detect the scent of the coronavirus.

Bram, who joins dozens of others quarantined with coronavirus in the Tel Aviv Dan Panorama Hotel that was recently converted into a quarantine facility by the Israeli defense establishment, said, "I'm in a rare position as I'm still diagnosed with coronavirus together with many others who have tested positive. It's a godsend that I happen to be a volunteer dog-handler of a service dog that is a trained cadaver and weapons-sniffing detection dog. That's what we do. And if I can make a small contribution to save many lives, I am happy to do that."

Settenbrino continued: "Additionally, even after I G-d willing recover, I'm less likely to contract coronavirus and am thus in a unique position to test and train with many coronavirus patients. I asked the head of the IDU as well as the staff at the Hotel to permit me to have my service dog ‐ Dana admitted to join me here so that we can commence immediate training under the auspices of expert trainers who will guide me. I know that the chances are slim, but what have we to lose?"

#2 Obviously, the guy just wants his dog with him. But, it could work.
