Question: Will I be safe if I decide to donate blood?

page_title: Homelessness and COVID-19 FAQs
section_headers: Can homeless service providers accept donations?
section_content: Homeless service providers can accept donations during community spread of
COVID-19, but general infection control precautions should be taken. Request
that donors not donate if they are sick. Set up donation drop-off points to
encourage social distancing between shelter workers and those donating.
According to usual procedures, launder donated clothing, sheets, towels, or
other fabrics on high heat settings, and disinfect items that are nonporous,
such as items made of plastic. Food donations should be shelf-stable, and
shelter staff should take usual food-related infection prevention precautions.
For more information about COVID-19 and food, see the Food and Drug
Administration’s website on Food Safety and COVID-19external

Is it okay for me to donate blood?
section_content: In healthcare settings across the United States, donated blood is a
lifesaving, essential part of caring for patients. The need for donated blood
is constant, and blood centers are open and in urgent need of donations. CDC
encourages people who are well to continue to donate blood if they are able,
even if they are practicing social distancing because of COVID-19. CDC is
supporting blood centers by providing recommendations that will keep donors
and staff safe. Examples of these recommendations include spacing donor chairs
6 feet apart, thoroughly adhering to environmental cleaning practices, and
encouraging donors to make donation appointments ahead of time.

Should I continue to take my blood pressure medication?
section_content: Yes. Continue to take your blood pressure medications exactly as prescribed
and make lifestyle modifications agreed upon in your treatment plan. Continue
all your regular medications, including angiotensin-converting enzyme
inhibitors (ACE-Is) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), as prescribed by
your healthcare team. This is recommended by current clinical
guidelines from the American Heart Association, the Heart Failure Society of
America, and the American College of Cardiology.
