With it being Tuesday, I felt this was a great video to share again for Try It Tuesday! This was the first time I had ever given blood (video below).
I also wanted to spread the message from the Blood Bank of Delmarva on the need for blood right now. They shared on social, "The need for blood is constant, and right now, we have an urgent need. If you are healthy and well, please make an appointment at one of our donor centers ASAP" Visit them online HERE to schedule an appointment or call 888-825-6638. Appointments are necessary to help manage donor flow during this critical time.To learn more about the importance of donating at this time and to answer your questions regarding COVID-19, please visit www.delmarvablood.org/coronavirus.
Do not donate if you have:
- a fever or other symptoms of COVID-19 (cough, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing)
- had close contact with someone diagnosed with or suspected of having COVID-19 in the last 28 days
- been diagnosed with or suspected of having COVID-19 until 28 days after your illness has resolved.
They do not test for COVID-19. Please contact your health care provider if you want to be tested.
