Black and Asian men from Lancashire sought for genetic study into Covid-19 Scientists working on a ground-breaking Covid-19 medical study have issued an urgent call to people in Lancashire who caught the virus to donate blood at a special ‘pop up’ centre. To encourage more people to join the study, a temporary centre at the Legacy Preston International Hotel on Marsh Lane will open its doors to volunteers on Friday.
