[Photo] Blood Supply Disrupted Due to COVID-19... Blood Storage Facility 'Empty'

As the fourth wave of COVID-19 and the escalation of social distancing measures have led to a decrease in blood donation participation, the blood storage refrigerator at the Seoul Central Blood Center of the Korean Red Cross in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, is running low on the 30th. According to the Korean Red Cross, the nationwide blood supply on this day was enough for 2.3 days, and for Seoul and the metropolitan area, it was 2.0 days, which is less than half of the recommended average stock of 5 days./Reporter Kim Hyun-min kimhyun81@
