We hope those who test positive with the COVID-19 antibodies will return to find out if they are a good candidate to donate convalescent plasma, Paul Freher with Innovative Blood Resources said in an email to the News Tribune.
Convalescent plasma is found in people who have had COVID-19 and is used to treat people with the illness. Those who have recovered from COVID-19 can register for a plasma donation at mbc.org/cpdonor.
Memorial Blood Centers is also urging anyone eligible to make a blood donation appointment at one of its four centers in the Northland or one of the upcoming blood drives.
