BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — The American Red Cross is looking for health people in Western New York to donate blood amid the coronavirus outbreak.
This is in addition to the blood shortage due to cold and flu season.
“We’re asking the American people to help keep the blood supply stable during this challenging time. As communities across the country prepare for this public health emergency, it’s critical that plans include a readily available blood supply for hospital patients,” said Chris Hrouda, president, Red Cross Blood Services. “As fears of coronavirus rise, low donor participation could harm blood availability at hospitals, and the last thing a patient should worry about is whether lifesaving blood will be on the shelf when they need it most.”
