To help manage social distancing, appointments are required, and no guests will be permitted at the drive. In accordance with CDC guidelines, donors are asked to wear a face mask that covers both their nose and mouth. If a donor does not have a mask, one will be provided.
Discover Your Antibody Test Status When You Give Blood: For a limited time, the American Red Cross will test all blood, platelet and plasma donations for COVID-19 antibodies as an additional health service to donors. This testing will provide critical insight into whether donors may have possibly been exposed to this coronavirus. This is not a diagnostic test which detects current infection. It assesses whether your immune system has responded to the infection. A donor who is currently with symptoms SHOULD NOT report to the blood drive but can come 28 days after they are symptom-free.
