A member asked:
Are people with a specific blood type more susceptible to contracting covid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Controversial: A study by The Southern University of Science and Technology (China) reported that people with blood type group A have an ^'ed risk getting COVID-19 compared with non-A blood groups. However, this is somewhat controversial and I am not sure if the findings have been replicated by other studies yet.
