Health authorities in Uganda say the supply of blood has sharply declined since the start of the coronavirus pandemic as fewer people donate and schools remain closed. Children under 5 and patients going into surgery are also among those frequently in need of a blood transfusion, he said. The Uganda Red Cross, which helps authorities to mobilize blood donors, said it hasn't been easy to recruit donors during the pandemic. Local media in Romania have cited fear of COVID-19 infections among the reasons for a decline in the number of blood donors.
