Travelers arriving at the Helsinki Airport in Finland are going to be dogged about a COVID-19 test ? literally.

As part of a test project, the airport has started offering voluntary coronavirus tests that only take 10 seconds without a nasal swab being stuck into your sinuses. Instead, the test is administered by one of two canines trained to detect the virus by sniffing the sweat of arriving passengers, according to The New York Times.
