'It appears safe to receive blood as a transfusion recipient and to keep donating blood, without fear of transmitting COVID-19 as long as current screenings are used,' said Dr Sonia Bakkour, a scientist on the study's research team. If a donor gave blood - without knowing they were infected - could they transfer the coronavirus to a patient? These findings mean that, even in the blood donations where trace coronavirus was present, a transfusion would be unlikely to transfer COVID to a patient. "The long-term consequences" of these patients' small airways disease "are not known," the authors said. Blood donations are safe during the pandemic and do not carry a risk of COVID-19 infection risk, a new study suggests.
