Kejriwal: Please donate plasma, it's painless

July 06, 2020 12:24

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's update on the corona virus cases in Delhi. "COVID-19 cases have crossed 1 lakh mark in Delhi but there is no need to panic as around 72,000 people have also recovered. Out of 25,000 active patients, 15,000 are being treated at home. Death rate has also come down.

"We've also started the country's first corona plasma bank. Our trials have shown that plasma therapy can help moderate patients improve significantly.

"The number of people who need plasma is more than those coming forward to donate it. I urge all those who are eligible to come forward and donate plasma. It will not cause any pain or weakness. Those donating plasma are doing selfless service to society.

"Our team is calling up people requesting them to donate plasma, if you receive such a call please don't refuse. Hospitals should also give counselling to patients who have recovered and encourage them to donate plasma."
