The coronavirus outbreak has led to widespread cancellations of blood drives and a drop in blood donations. As a result, the American Red Cross has said the nation faces “severe blood shortages.” Congressman Morgan Griffith (R-VA) issued the following statement:

“During the coronavirus outbreak, donating blood is a vital way to help our fellow citizens. If you are healthy and qualified, please consider visiting a local blood bank or blood drive and donating. Your donation could help save a life.”
