Precautionary measures taken at blood collection sites

This page details the updated information on the precautionary measures taken to safeguard donors' health and well-being. 

Masks are encouraged

Donors are encouraged to put on their masks to minimise the spread of diseases.

Measures taken by Bloodbank staff

All Bloodbank staff wear surgical masks at all times and practice regular hand hygiene before attending to donors. They also monitor for symptoms and are advised to see doctor if they are not feeling well.

Ensuring premises are clean

We clean the premises regularly and encourage the practice of hand hygiene by placing hand sanitizers at the donation areas.

Reminders to donors

Donors are reminded during medical interview that they must call a 24-hour toll free line (1800-226-3320) immediately if they develop symptoms of infection such as fever, rash, body ache, sore throat or persistent cough within two weeks after blood donation. Post-donation SMS text is also sent to blood donors after their donation to remind them of this.

Appointments encouraged

To shorten their time spent at the Bloodbank, we would like to encourage donors to make an appointment before coming down for their donation.
