The American Red Cross is so grateful to all our partners that continue to stand with us through the evolution of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).
We are committed to providing you with the most up-to-date information as we continue to organize upcoming blood drives across the country. At each blood drive, we follow extensive safety protocols and, over the past month, we have announced additional safety measures that were implemented. We wanted to share the latest precautions that you may notice at your upcoming blood drive:
- Basic Face Masks at Blood Drives. In accordance with updated CDC guidelines, donors will be asked to wear face masks at blood drives or donation centers. We encourage donors to wear their own face mask/covering that covers both their nose and mouth in accordance with CDC guidelines. If a donor does not have a mask, the Red Cross will provide one. If a donor does not want to wear a mask, we ask they postpone their donation for a later date.
- No Guests at Blood Drives. Only donors can attend and no guests allowed.
- Refreshment Items at Canteen. Any provided refreshment items must be pre-packaged only.
- Social distancing will be adhered to with spacing between donation tables.
- Thank you for your continued trust in the American Red Cross and unwavering commitment during this challenging time.
