Sniffer dogs are a friend of security forces. Normally, they are used to detect bombs. They are a common sight in airports.

Do you know they can be used for many other tasks too. In Finland, these dogs are even used to detect Covid-19 patients.

As part of a trial, these dogs have already been deployed in an airport in Finland, named Helsinki-Vantaa airport.

As per a study, these dogs can detect the presence of the virus in human at least five days before the appearance of any symptom.

The trial is being conducted under the guidance of the University of Helsinki. It is being monitored by a term of experts from the university.

The trial is a part of the research program launched by the university.

If the result turns positive, many other airports in the region may adopt this method.

By 1178 0

Sanna Marin, the Prime Minister of Finland, is set to become the youngest Prime Minister of the world, after Ukraine’s Oleksiy Honcharuk, 35, and New Zealand’s Jacinda Arden, 39.

At present, the Finnish ‘PM to be’ is only 34 year old. Currently, she is the transport minister of the country.

The road towards her induction has been paved after Antti Rinne resigned from the post of the PM of Finland recently as one of the coalition partners of the centre-left coalition lost confidence in him for his inability to address a recent strike effectively.

The new alternative has been selected by the Social Democratic party itself. Interestingly, the nomination of a woman to the post of the PM of Finland makes the country a true women-led government. At present, all the five parties, which make the coalition, are led by women.
