Yahoo News reported on July 6, 2024, at 4:11 AM that Taiwan Blood Services Foundation announced a blood supply alarm with only 4.9 days left in the blood supply safety stock, significantly lower than the 7-10 days needed. Taipei and Taichung have 4.6 days left, and Kaohsiung has the lowest at 4.2 days, with A and O blood types in high demand. The decreased blood donations are attributed to the ongoing respiratory epidemic, summer heat, and reduced willingness to donate due to summer travel. The public is urged to actively donate blood to replenish the supply and meet the critical demand.
