Hatozlah of Boro Park and Yachad of Bobov have joined forces in setting up a plasma-donation testing site in Boro Park for people that have had COVID-19 and recovered.

The testing will take place tomorrow - Wednesday, April 22nd at Ateres Golda ballroom, from 9am to 9pm. 

People who have had symptoms of Coronavirus, or who tested positive previously and are now symptom free are urged to sign up at http://plasma.lrbcol.org  where they will be given more information and exact details.

The event is being organized by Lakewood Bikur Cholim which had a highly successful drive in Lakewood just a few days ago where they tested over 1,000 people, they have also arranged other drives in Jewish locations.

Bikur Cholim of Lakewood stressed that the tests are only for those willing to donate blood, not for those seeking to determine if they have antibodies or for any other reason. "The only purpose of undergoing this test is to see if you have blood that can help other stricken with COVID-19. Please do not use it for any other purpose," a statement said.

Boro Park Shomrim will be on sight strictly enforcing social distancing.
