Experts, in a new study, say that blood group O is protective against COVID-19 infection even as being a male makes an individual twice more susceptible to contracting the infection than the female, in Oyo State.
The study, which confirmed the association between ABO blood groups and COVID-19 infection and the severity of infection, says individuals with blood groups B and AB were also more susceptible to the disease. Within ABO blood group systems, there are four different blood groups: A, B, AB and O
They also found out that the blood group was not associated with whether the patients have respiratory or gastrointestinal symptoms but age modestly predict if a patient infected with SARS CoV 2 would become symptomatic.

When Mrs Ukachuku Amaka, a 31-year-old mother of two, fell into labour in July, she decided to patronise a hospital close to her residence. Restriction of movement due to COVID-19 lockdown in Lagos had prevented her from going to the family hospital where she originally planned to have her baby.
“When I got to the hospital, they said they would do COVID-19 test for me. Soon, I noticed that my husband and I had been left in the labour room. The nurse told my husband that the COVID-19 test came back positive and therefore I would have to be moved to another room,” Mrs Amaka recounted.
