Due to the decrease in blood donors caused by the impact of COVID-19, securing blood necessary for emergency surgeries has become urgent, and the first half blood donation event was held on the 28th of last month.
On that day, 305 citizens from all walks of life participated in the blood donation, the highest number among gun-level regions nationwide.
In particular, as many citizens turned away due to the slow progress of blood donation caused by compliance with preventive guidelines such as social distancing and temperature checks, a second blood donation event will be held to unite the will to overcome COVID-19.
The second blood donation event will be held on the 19th at Haenam-gun Public Health Center, with two mobile blood donation vehicles stationed from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM.
Citizens wishing to participate in blood donation should bring identification such as a resident registration card, passport, or student ID when visiting. Blood donors will receive a blood test and a box of disposable masks (50 pieces), and 4 hours of volunteer activity will be recognized through the Volunteer Certification Management Center.
