No evidence of <scp>SARS‐CoV</scp>‐2 <scp>RNA</scp> among blood donors: A multicenter study in Hubei, China

Abstract

Nucleic acid test screening of SARS-CoV-2 on blood donations is suitable in blood establishments using the commercial real-time PCR detection kit based on available instruments. The negative result indicated that SARS-CoV-2 appears to be no direct threat to blood safety but raises some serious issues for general blood supply.
