FORT WORTH, Texas Four weeks after testing positive for the novel coronavirus, Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price donated plasma and is calling on others to do the same.
“I’m glad to be here and have a chance to share our antibodies with somebody that might need them,” Price said, minutes before making the donation.
Price donated her plasma at Carter Bloodcare’s donation center on Rosedale Street Friday afternoon.
Her blood was drawn and passed through a machine that separates red blood cells and plasma. The red blood cells were then returned and the plasma will be used to help others fight COVID-19.
