Although the positivity rate for COVID-19 remains low in our community, Sarasota Memorial is seeing a slight uptick in hospitalizations of people with COVID-19. Meanwhile, the local supply of convalescent plasma that can help treat patients is critically low. If you have recovered from COVID-19, or think you had COVID-19 but were not tested for the virus, SunCoast Blood Centers will run a serological test to determine if you have the antibodies present to help replenish our community's dwindling supply of convalescent plasma

Call SunCoast at 941-993-8119 or email covid19@suncoastblood.org.
