Plasma Therapy against Covid-19 shows Positive Signs in the Philippines

The use of Convalescent Plasma Therapy (CPT) for Patients Critically Ill of the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) in Philippine Hospitals is showing some positive signs as 5 out of 12 or 42% were taken off Ventilator Support in Intensive Care Units (ICU) and moved to regular Hospital Beds.

CPT involves transfusing certain components of the blood from People who have recovered from Covid-19 into people who are still very sick with the Disease. The Government may want to mandate this into Law, requiring all qualified Covid-19 Recoverees to contribute Plasma at regular intervals.
