Ensuring Donor Safety
Donor Health & Registration:
- All donor-facing staff will have their temperature taken prior to beginning their work day
- Donors temperatures will be taken at registration to ensure they are not elevated prior to entering donation areas
- Donors will be asked if they've come in contact with someone who's tested positive for COVID-19
- Donors will be asked to wash hands prior to screening
- Donors will be asked if they are currently experiencing coughing or shortness of breath
- If any of the above is true, donors will be asked to self-defer
Social Distancing:
- We encourage all donors to make an appointment to lessen the amount of people waiting at our donor centers
- To comply with government regulations, all sponsors and donors must wear personal masks at donor centers and mobile drives
- Ensuring six feet of space between chairs in waiting areas and cafe
- Ensuring six feet of space between donation chairs and/or separation with medical screens
- If appointment registration congestion occurs, we will ask for your cell phone number and text when your appointment is ready
Cleaning:
- We clean all equipment, beds, and other surfaces after each donor finishes their donation
- Changing gloves frequently and between donors is part of our normal practice
- We will maintain sanitized pen bins, so donors are only using clean pens at sign-in
