For a limited time, Blood Assurance is offering testing for COVID-19 antibodies to donors in order to help collect information about exposure to Coronavirus in our area.  Donors need to be aware that this is not a diagnostic test for COVID-19 infection, and if they believe they may be currently infected, they should NOT give blood.

Blood Assurance is encouraging anyone who thinks they may have had COVID-19 to come in and be tested.  Antibodies produced by individuals who have recovered from the virus are critical in a treatment combating COVID-19.

If you’ve been officially diagnosed with COVID-19 – have been symptom free for at least 14 days – and are able to pass all regular blood donation requirements – you could save lives.

To contact Blood Assurance call 1-800-962-0628 and find out more.
