Giving Blood in the current climate - whats the plan?

[Irial]

I'm not due to give blood until next month, but what is the plan? i suppose they will still need blood

has anyone heard anything?

oh why didnt i just check on the website?

www.blood.co.uk/news-and-campaigns/news-and-statements/coronavirus-covid-19-updates/

i'll be the idiot in the corner!

I was wondering the same.

I am due to donate tomorrow and the online advice is to go ahead, they can take protective measures and rigidly enforce distancing, so I will go and do my bit. I was a bit surprised, but relieved in a way!

Today's status:
Please keep donating blood and platelets - hospital patients are still relying on your lifesaving donations.
