A message from Carter BloodCare:

We are following all the national guidelines from our industry as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for protecting you, and will continue to do so. We have increased our frequency of cleaning beyond what is required, because we know you expect it. This includes sanitizing the donor beds and surrounding work stations; donor screening areas, our refreshment areas, doorknobs, and waiting area. Hand sanitizer is readily available. Staff and donors are required to wear masks during the donation process. This reflects ongoing changes in guidelines by the CDC and state and local government. A blood drive host location may require additional social distancing and mask requirements for blood drive participants.
