Can someone who tested positive for covid-19 give blood?

Blood donation: Not while actively infected. Donation of convalescent serum/ plasma can be especially beneficial. The Red Cross has specific qualifications.

Recommended: It is recommended that people who have recovered from Covid-19, should contact their local blood bank to be evaluated for suitability for plasma donation. I commend you for your altruistic thinking. Wish you good health!
