Mötzingen: 161 blood donors – a good result in Corona times – Nagold & surroundings

The bloodletting procedure has also changed in Corona times: After a Corona self-check and a temperature check, each participant first received a fresh face mask before they went to the health check. Questions about the current health status and medication intake must be asked

“This is necessary to protect the donors”

while the blood pressure and pulse are measured and the hemoglobin value is determined with a small prick in the finger. “This is necessary to protect the donor,” says Torben Voskuhl, knowing that, for example, blood donation is not possible in the case of anemia. Once these formalities have been completed, the actual blood donation takes place, in which the experienced nurses from the blood donation service take half a liter of blood.

After a certain rest period, the participants were able to strengthen themselves with a snack at the well-stocked buffet, which has now fallen victim to the hygiene requirements. The blood donors now receive a packed lunch with drink and fruit “to go”. The local DRK local association was on site with 14 volunteers to create the right framework for the blood donation campaign. The next blood donation appointment of the local DRK association Mötzingen-Oberes Gäu will take place on April 13th from 2.30 p.m. in the Jettinger Willy-Dieterle-Halle.
