Blood donation: Not if you are actively ill. Don't go if you have just had a COVID 19 contact - because you don't want to make the people collecting blood ill. They won't be giving you a COVID 19 test. However, they do collect plasma/ serum if people who are antibody positive for convalsecent serum/plasma treatments.
