Virus Outbreak: Appeals for donors from Taiwan Blood Services FoundationBy Dennis Xie / Staff writer, with CNAThe Taiwan Blood Services Foundation yesterday called on people to donate blood, as stocks for all types are low. Demand is highest in Taipei, with stocks of O, A, B and AB enough for between three and five days, foundation public relations director Li Lei (黎蕾) said. Some Taiwan Tobacco and Liquor (TTL) Corp giveaways are displayed at a news conference in Hsinchu County yesterday to promote a blood drive the Hsinchu Blood Center and the company are cosponsoring at Big City shopping mall on Saturday. The cancelation of blood drives has contributed to the shortage, although even when collection drives have been held, turnout has been low, she said. People should not worry about donation stations’ hygienic practices, as disinfection measures are fully implemented.
