Abstract:
Novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus(SARS-CoV), and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus(MERS-CoV) had posed a serious threat to global public health security. Although the main route of infection of the coronavirus is respiratory infection and it is less likely to cause transfusion transmitted disease (TTD), there was no evidence to completely rule out the possibility of transmission through blood transfusion because of the presence of the virus RNA in the plasma of patients. Based on the characteristics of the coronavirus and theoretical research and data analysis of the route of blood transmission, this paper discusses the relationship between coronavirus and TTD, summarizes the prevention and control measures that should be taken by blood collection and supply institutions, and provides the risk analysis and coping strategies of blood transfusion transmission of 2019-nCoV to ensure the blood safety during the COVID-19 epidemic situation.
