Actor
Kartik Aaryan has urged all COVID-19 survivors in the country to donate their blood
plasma
for the recovery of those who are battling the pandemic.
Kartik reposted a video of
Sumiti Singh
, who is the first COVID-19 survivor. She is seen donating her
blood
plasma.
"I donated my blood plasma today— A person who has recovered from COVID is able to make antibodies against it . Also if you don't have any pre existing ailments you are considered a healthy body and CAN donate your blood plasma, if willing, for the benefit of patients in a critical condition. With great joy and pride I am able to share that I fit all the necessary criteria to donate plasma and did so today at the Red Cross Ahmedabad," Singh wrote in the caption of the video.
She then focussed on the procedure to donate the plasma, which she said is similar to donating blood.
Kartik had interviewed Sumiti Singh on the first episode of his online chat-show, and lauding her effort he urged all survivors to follow her example.
"So proud of @sumitisingh I urge all survivors to check with their doctors and donate their blood plasma if eligible to help critical patients who are on the road to recovery. Also a big Thank You Sumiti for spreading awareness #KokiPoochega," he posted.
On the work front, Kartik will next feature in the sequel of 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa' with Kiara Advani. He was last seen in Mudassar Aziz's 'Pati Patni Aur Woh' co-starring Bhumi Pednekar and Ananya Panday.
