Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) had tremendous effects on various health care sectors all over the world, and as the pandemic continues, the blood donation sector is especially affected. During unusual times, where risk of contracting the novel Corona virus (SARS-CoV-2) is very likely, it can be seen why blood donations have decreased. In this article we will discuss why and how the blood donation sector was affected during the Covid-19 pandemic in various countries around the world and will propose our medical center’s solution for the potential shortages in blood and blood products supplies.
