This Monday, March 9, 2020 file photo shows a packet of donated blood at The American Red Cross donation center in Scranton, Pa. On Friday, March 13, 2020, The Associated Press reported on stories circulating online incorrectly asserting that if you don’t have health insurance and can’t afford to take a $3,200 test for the COVID-19 coronavirus, donate blood because screeners must test donors for the virus. “We do a whole range of testing on blood donations as required by the FDA, but screening or testing for coronavirus is not happening,” said Kate Fry, chief executive officer of America’s Blood Centers, a North American network of nonprofit blood centers.
