A Community Blood Center blood drive continues today at the University of Kansas Health System.
According to a CBC spokeswoman, the blood supply is still under recommended levels in the Kansas City area.
The blood supply has been low since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to officials.
On Thursday, the blood drive at KU Health System collected 85 units of blood, and they hope to replicate that today, according to officials.
The blood drive continues now through 7 p.m. Friday, according to the Community Blood Center. It is being held in the Health Education Building, 2146 W. 39th Ave., Ad Astra, fifth floor, Kansas City, Kansas.
