WINNIPEG As Manitoba continues to reopen and loosen restrictions, there is an urgent call for blood donations. The demand comes as summer is now in full swing and hospitals are looking to catch up on cancelled surgeries. Throughout the pandemic, blood inventory levels were maintained but now that situation is changing as 1,000 blood donation appointments are needed in the next three weeks. We are seeing an increased need for blood and that’s actually about pre-COVID-19 levels, said Steve Raizen, Manitoba territory manager for the Canadian Blood Services. While the province as a whole needs 1,000 appointments, 900 of those are needed in Winnipeg.
