You can go for Blood Transfusion procedures due to following reasons,
Individuals are not at risk of contracting COVID-19 through the blood donation process or via a blood transfusion, since respiratory viruses are generally not known to be transmitted by donation or transfusion.
Routine blood donor screening measures – which may include travel deferrals – that are already in place are designed to prevent individuals with clinical respiratory infections from donating blood.
