As the fourth wave of COVID-19 and the escalation of social distancing measures have led to a decrease in blood donations, the blood storage refrigerator at the Seoul Central Blood Center of the Korean Red Cross in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, is running low on the 30th. According to the Korean Red Cross, the nationwide blood supply on this day was enough for 2.3 days, and for Seoul and the metropolitan area, it was enough for 2.0 days, falling short of even half of the recommended average stock of 5 days./Reporter Kim Hyun-min kimhyun81@
