(ABC 6 News) - As COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations still remain high throughout the country, the demand for convalescent plasma is matching that trend.
If you have fully recovered from COVID-19, you can donate your plasma at least two weeks after recovery. This is not a new thing that we are asking people to donate. It s just that right now we re really putting an extra emphasis on donating plasma if you have recovered from COVID because there is only a small percentage of people who can do that. because someone who is in the hospital can really use that, Melanie Tschida, Executive Director of the SE Minnesota Chapter of the American Red Cross, said.
