The State Government has banned collection of blood from people gathered at one place for the purpose to check the spread of coronavirus.
But it is also thinking about blood collection to meet the requirement of various patients. Now, almost all blood banks are drying up.
Every day, thalassemia patients need blood. Other patients like pregnant women and accident victims also need blood. At this crucial stage, Junior Red Cross Officer and Blood Donation Motivator Laxman Swain has started a blood donation campaign, "Giving is in my blood " and is requesting people to donate blood individually at the nearest blood banks.
"We should panic about donating blood as it is safe. Medicals are working for safe blood donation. It is all our duty to stand at this emergency situation," said Swain.
