The blood bank on Monday issued a plea for donations as supplies are dangerously low.

Due to the high number of people testing positive to Covid-19 or being in self isolation, there has been a drastic reduction in the number of people donating blood, the blood bank said.

At the same time, demand is at dangerously high levels.

Therefore, the blood bank has announced that donation points will be operating from Monday to Wednesday from 7.30am to 8pm without a break at midday.

Donation points working these hours are:

Nicosia: Engomi station

Limassol: Ayios Georgios, Havouza

Larnaca: donation point at Larnaca hospital’s new wing on the third floor

Paphos: Mesogis ‘Georgios Christou’ Cultural Centre
