Due to the government's early intervention such as mass lockdown and curtailment strategies towards mass gatherings, amid the COVID-19 outbreak, the organization of the voluntary blood donation camps have been suspended. It's most significant impact on the blood community has been a dramatic decrease in the number of blood donors. Therefore, our blood stock has almost dried up and put our inventory in a state of jeopardy. Additionally, all the elective surgeries and non-urgent clinical interventions have also been deferred during this time. This has led to a drop in the blood collection, demand as well as the issue at our blood center. With this backdrop, we intended to assess the effect of this mass lockdown on our blood supply management, particularly in two phases [phase-I prior to the outbreak] and phase-II [during the outbreak]. Transitioning back to the normal conditions would most likely depend on the extent and the time duration of this pandemic and associated behavioural change, which is foreseen to remain in effect well beyond the original estimates.

由于政府的早期干预，例如大规模封锁和削减群众集会的策略，在COVID-19爆发期间，自愿献血营的组织已暂停。对献血者群体的最大影响是献血者数量的急剧减少。因此，我们的血液储备几乎已枯竭，使我们的库存处于危险的状态。此外，在此期间，所有的选择性手术和非紧急临床干预措施也已推迟。这导致血液收集，需求以及我们血液中心的问题下降。在此背景下，我们打算评估这种大规模封锁对我们的血液供应管理的影响，尤其是在两个阶段[爆发前的第一阶段]和第二阶段[爆发期间]。
