DALLAS, Texas.- A partir de hoy y por tiempo limitado la Cruz Roja Americana realizará pruebas de anticuerpos de Coronavirus a todas las donaciones de sangre, plaquetas y plasma para saber si el donante estuvo expuesto al virus. La Administración de Alimentos y Medicamentos de los Estados Unidos autorizó las pruebas para uso de emergencia. Las pruebas de anticuerpos no confirman si el donante tiene o tuvo el virus ni si existe inmunidad.
Las pruebas a las donaciones serán enviadas a laboratorios en donde serán evaluadas para identificar enfermedades infecciosas de rutina. Los resultados de las pruebas de anticuerpos estarán disponibles de 7 a 10 días después.
La Cruz Roja invita a la comunidad a realizar donaciones de sangre siempre siguiendo las medidas de precaución necesarias por la pandemia y quieren recordarle que si tiene síntomas relacionados al coronavirus lo mejor es que se quede en casa y posponga su cita para donar sangre. Puede programas su cita para poner visitando la página de internet https://www.redcrossblood.org o llamando al número (800) 733-2767, ahí también recibirá información de los requisitos para poder donar.
