Hospitals in Baton Rouge and the American Red Cross say they are facing severe blood shortages.
Officials said yesterday that donations are down to unprecedented low numbers due to donors social distancing themselves because of the coronavirus.
Blood Drive Organizers say they have implemented new protocols to ensure the safety of its donation centers both to staff and those coming in to donate.
Vitalent is hosting two blood drives today and tomorrow at the East Baton Rouge Public Library from 2:30 p.m. until 6:30 p.m., and donors are also welcome at three Our Lady of the Lake locations in Baton Rouge, Zachary, and Gonzales.
