Will Donating Blood Test for Covid?

COVID-19 Antibody Testing Has Ended
If you donated blood, platelets or plasma between June 15, 2020 and June 25, 2021 the results of your previous antibody test(s) are available by logging in to your Blood Donor account on the Blood Donor App or online.

Why should people who recovered from COVID-19 donate blood?

Blood donated by people who've recovered from COVID-19 has antibodies to the virus that causes it. The donated blood is processed to remove blood cells, leaving behind liquid (plasma) and antibodies. These can be given to people with COVID-19 to boost their ability to fight the virus.

How long can COVID-19 antibodies be detected in blood samples?

Antibodies may be detected in your blood for several months or more after you recover from COVID-19.
