The American Red Cross will be holding a blood drive at the Barclay School Café, 400 Central School Drive, Brockport on Wednesday, April 22, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The Red Cross has been following CDC guidelines and taking additional precautions to ensure the safety of donors and staff at every blood drive. The organization has begun to pre-screen all individuals by taking their temperature before they enter a blood drive and only collecting blood from individuals who are healthy and feeling well at the time of donation.
Other safety precautions taken during blood drives include:
•Employees wearing gloves
•Routinely wiping down donor-touched areas
•Using sterile collection sets for every donation
•Preparing the arm for donation with an aseptic scrub
•Implementing additional spacing to incorporate social distancing measures
If you are healthy and feeling well, you are encouraged to donate at the BCSD blood drive. Make an appointment by visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800-733-2767 to schedule an appointment.
