Red Cross encourages people to donate blood, convalescent plasma
The American Red Cross is in urgent need of Type O blood.
According to Brian Williams, donor recruitment account representative of the Central Ohio American Red Cross Blood Services, urgent need means that the supply of Type O blood is not where they need it to be for meeting the orders of hospitals.
Williams said that January, even pre-pandemic and even more so during the pandemic, is a rough month for the agency for blood collection.
Now that the schools are not participating as much as they had prior to the pandemic the agency is hurting a bit more when it comes to low blood collection.
