After the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, people avoid going out and so as the number of blood donors have dropped.
The Hong Kong Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service (BTS) announced that the blood banks are running low and the daily amount of blood collected has been unable to meet the demand of hospitals. The BTS appealed to the general public today (January 23) to donate blood immediately to replenish the blood supply as soon as possible. In response to the appeal, DAB Legislative Councillors Starry Lee, Wilson Or and Kwun Tong District Councilor Frankie Ngan alongside with other DAB members Chan Kok-wah, Hung Kam-in, Eric Tam, Roger Kwan, Alvin Chiu, Iris Wong and Derek Tsang today went for donation at the donor centres.
