Therefore, I am very grateful that communities can spare out their time for donation drive even in this situation. Hence, I represent Miri Red Crescent by saying thank you for willing to support the COVID 19 patients either by monetary, blood donation or both.

 

The donation drive would be held on every Tuesday and Thursday at 10am to 2pm. Communities which to donate have to register their name, check their temperature for financial support and undergo medical check before they donate blood.

 

One of the donators Reza Huzairi Zainuddin has said that “I am overwhelmed and proud that Allah replaced my sadness in 2020 with the opportunity to help other patients by donating my blood plasma,”

 

“The Government welcomes the generosity of Malaysians, both the rakyat and the corporate sector, in contributing and donating towards addressing the Covid-19 outbreak, ” said the Finance Ministry

Other than that, patient who recovered from COVID 19 are welcome to donate to help out patient who are currently fighting with the virus. However, they have to go through more stricter medical check to unsure that they are fully recover and meet the requirement.
