ABC7 teams up with American Red Cross for Week of Giving
Every two seconds someone in the United States needs blood. During the COVID-19 pandemic, a pint of blood could be a gift of life for someone in need.
ABC7 is teaming up with the American Red Cross for a week-long blood drive from Jan. 11 to Jan. 17. In the hour it takes to donate blood, you can help save the lives of patients in your community and across the Tri-State area.
Each American Red Cross blood drive and donation center follows the highest standards of safety and infection control. To ensure the health of staff and donors, precautions include:
- Checking temperatures of staff and donors before entering a drive to make sure they are healthy
- Providing hand sanitizer for use before entering the drives, as well as throughout the donation process
- Following social distancing between donors including entry, donation and refreshment areas
- Ensuring face masks or coverings are worn by both staff and donors
- Routinely disinfecting surfaces, equipment and donor-touched areas
- Wearing gloves and changing gloves often
- Using sterile collection sets and an aseptic scrub for every donation
