Singer Sonu Nigam urged every non-vaccinated person in India to step forward and donate blood because there will be a severe shortage following the second wave of Covid-19.
“There is going to be a severe crisis in blood-banks. People who haven’t been vaccinated till now need to step forward and donate blood. The situation, which could turn serious in the near future, can easily be controlled with blood donation,” said Sonu.
The singer, who donated blood and oxygen canisters at a blood donation camp in Juhu, urges everyone to not wait till the 11th hour.
“Rather than waiting for the crisis to arrive and then start looking for a solution, it would be a lot easier to foresee the threat and prepare for it right away. That’s what I am doing here: looking for a solution to a looming crisis,” added Sonu.
Sonu inaugurated the blood donation camp and also donated 250 oxygen canisters for Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and ambulances. He added, “There are 250 oxygen canisters here for patients who are being transported in ambulances, from home to hospital. We’re making these canisters available for BMC and ambulances.”
Sonu had tested Covid positive earlier and he has not taken the vaccine yet.
