Mario1234 Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 Hi I was wondering if the Red Cross is the only place here to donate blood? I know with everything going on right now I'm sure everyone is in a dire need for more blood supply. I am O-Negative and know that my type of blood is one of the most needed blood types since they use this so much but not many people have it. I was wanting to donate but was wondering if there is another location where i could possibly even make a little money in doing so? Like in the US. If not then i may just go to the Red Cross. I heard they also test for Antibodies to the Covid-19 virus. please let me know if this is true or if you have any extra info for me that would be super awesome! Thank you all for your time.

Mostlylost Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 Yes blood donations are down everywhere. You can donate in GDL . Mexico is very strict on donors. A few requirements 18-65 years old, over 50 kilos (110 lbs) no medications for 5 days before, complete list https://www.eluniversal.com.mx/articulo/ciencia-y-salud/salud/2017/06/14/conoce-los-requisitos-para-donar-sangre-en-mexico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideSky Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 Most of the larger hospitals have their own blood banks. You could put your self on a donor list and they could call you when in need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
