JOHANNESBURG - The South African National Blood Service has expressed concern that their supplies may run low as South Africa enters a three-week lockdown, starting Thursday at midnight.SANBS Chief Marketing Officer Silungile Mlambo says a lockdown means a decline of the blood stocks. "Since the announcement was made by the president we have already seen a decline in the blood stocks," Mlambo said.
"We are encouraged that the South African National Blood Service is considered an essential service which means citizens will be allowed to leave their homes to donate blood."The lockdown was announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa on Monday as a measure to combat the spread of COVID-19.
That's not good. How do I donate without being infected? Jesus, take the wheel.
they should do door to door collection theSANBS SANBSECR
Hopefully with people staying at home, there won’t be so much carnage on the roads & with alcohol restrictions hopefully less trauma cases & hence less need 🙏
Oh no
Are we allowed to donate if not tested for Covid19?
Weeeee!
