(WXYZ) — The American Red Cross said a spike in COVID-19 cases has caused an emergency shortage of convalescent plasma, which is used for patients with COVID-19.
According to the Red Cross, the plasma demand has more than doubled over the last month.
Individuals who have fully recovered and received a verified COVID-19 diagnosis are urged to sign up to give convalescent plasma now by completing the donor eligibility form at RedCrossBlood.org/plasma4covid.
Convalescent plasma is plasma that is collected from patients who have recovered from COVID-19 and have antibodies that might help fight that infection.
Donation appointments can be made for the coming days and weeks by downloading the free Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or enabling the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device.
Patients who come to give blood between Aug. 1 and Sept. 3 will get a $5 Amazon gift card.
