Bloodworks leaders and physicians are working to address the concern that as fears of coronavirus heighten, low donor participation will harm the blood supply.
“We can’t allow what’s happening to blood inventories in other countries affected by COVID-19, where they’re seeing sharp declines in donation, to happen here,” said Curt Bailey.
“Our community strives to maintain a four-day supply of blood. A sudden drop in the blood supply will have consequences and put surgeries and patients at risk. If you’re healthy and haven’t donated recently, please make an appointment to donate this week and plan to become a regular donor so the blood supply is always strong.”
Information is available at Bloodworks to help answer questions or concerns people may have about donating blood.
Don’t forget: Eat before and after you donate, stay hydrated, bring your photo ID or donor card
