The dogs will also be used at the Cluj-Napoca airport to detect people infected with the Coronavirus entering the country regardless of where they come from, the project being initially implemented in Sibiu a few weeks ago, and there it proved to be a success, so it is extended to other areas of the country.
The Cluj-Napoca airport is the first where this system will be applied beyond Sibiu, but it will also reach other areas of the country, and the use of dogs could help detect infected people from the moment they get off the planes.
"There will be the same dogs in Cluj and Sibiu, we will choose a few days a week, a few international races. We will have to organize the arrivals corridor in such a way that it can carry out its activity. Romania is among the few countries in the world that has implemented such a project.
We launched a pilot project of the Cynological Center in Sibiu and I am glad that it had results. At Sibiu Airport, 30 missions were executed with the 5 dogs and 3 policemen. The canine specimens reported a total of seven individuals, one of which was approximately three weeks old from the time it was confirmed to be infected, one individual was tested and confirmed positive with a rapid test and later with a PCR test.
Two people were flagged and tested negative with the rapid test at the airport, but who were quarantined because they did not show proof of the vaccine, and three people who were flagged and tested negative with the rapid test and quarantined because they did not have the complete vaccination schedule. vaccination."
