Based on the recommendations of the Society for Transfusion Medicine, in connection with the occurrence of hepatitis A (viral hepatitis A) in the Czech Republic, we ask donors to postpone the donation for 50 days (incubation period) in the event of a conscious risk contact.

In the event of supervision/supervision ordered by a health service authority, blood or blood component collection is not possible during the supervision/supervision period.

In case of illness, donation can be made 1 year after recovery.
