Belgian clinical studies to study the effectiveness of blood plasma for people recovering from COVID-19 are at risk of being suspended because of low plasma stocks, doctors said, prompting a call for more blood donors to come forward. The Belgian Red Cross is supplying plasma to two hospitals, University Hospital Leuven and CHU of Liege, which are leading two clinical studies in the country to see how plasma containing antibodies from COVID-19 survivors can help infected people. "There are a lot of patients in hospitals with COVID-19 and who need it," Esther Neijens, a doctor from the Red Cross, told Reuters.
