Meet a Tampa Bay OneBlood Donor on a Mission to Save Lives

In our continuing coverage of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), Sarina Fazan meets Karen, one of the first people in the Tampa Bay area to donate potentially life-saving convalescent plasma. Doctors say that the antibodies from recovered COVID-19 patients can help fight the disease in someone currently infected.

Karen, who says she was lucky to have had only a mild case of the virus, is hoping that her plasma donation through OneBlood will saves lives and encourages other people to donate as well.  She says, “If you were confirmed positive for coronavirus and you want to donate your plasma, do it. Get that confirmed negative test and come out right away.”
