ORLANDO, Fla. – With the surge of coronavirus cases in Florida comes the need for a greater demand of convalescent plasma donors.
One Blood is making a call to action asking those people who have recovered from COVID-19 to help out others battling the virus in a hospital.“There is an urgent need, we have put out the all call.
It is all hands on deck at One Blood,” said Susan Forbes, senior VP of corporate communications for One Blood. “Right now, One Blood is experiencing over a 500% increase in demands in orders from hospitals throughout our service area.”With Florida reporting almost 300,000 cases of coronavirus, Forbes said it’s an extraordinary scene at the organization, which is in dire need of convalescent plasma donors.
