With no end of coronavirus in sight, blood donations needed in Oklahoma

OKLAHOMA CITY (KOKH) — With no known end to the coronavirus pandemic, Oklahoma is in need of blood donations to keep up the supply.

The American Red Cross of Oklahoma says they are in need right now of blood donors to maintain a sufficient blood supply.

They are holding a blood drive at the Cox Convention Center on June 30. All donors will be tested for COVID-19 antibodies.

Safety measures are in place to help stop the spread of coronavirus at the drive.

"Each Red Cross blood drive and donation center follows the highest standards of safety and infection control, and additional precautions have been implemented to ensure the health of Red Cross donors, employees, and volunteers," they say in a statement.

Anyone who donates will receive a $5 Amazon Gift Card through email, and a free t-shirt.

The #OneTeam Blood Drive will be held from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Anyone who is healthy can make an appointment to donate here.
