With blood drives being canceled amid the coronavirus outbreak, Wisconsin has fallen dangerously low on blood reserves. A recent estimate by the American Red Cross found that Wisconsin was running behind by 6,000 donations.
Rather than cancel a blood drive scheduled for last week, officials at C.G. Schmidt decided to go ahead with it on Wednesday after consulting the blood-collection company Versiti about what precautions could be put in place. About 30 people – C.G. Schmidt employees, their relatives and subcontractors – took part in the drive. (Photos courtesy of C.G. Schmidt)
