MERIDEN, Conn. — With the COVID-19 outbreak, the American Red Cross is seeing a severe shortage in blood donations due to cancelled drives.
On Tuesday Connecticut State Police hosted a blood drive for community hoping to help by hosting blood drives like the one on Tuesday.
“That doesn’t necessarily mean that emergencies aren’t happening on a basis, Mothers are still giving birth, patients are still running into hospitals for emergency surgeries,” TFC Josue Dorelus said
All of the police recruits are currently in distance learning away from the academy.
