Blood bank draining rapidly in Reno

Tuesday, Jan. 18, 2000 | 1:54 a.m.

Donations at United Blood Services are down partly because people are sick, said Alana Ladd-Ross, community relations director.

A person must be symptom-free for three days to be allowed to donate blood, she said. At one blood drive last week, half of the 15 donors were turned away because they were not healthy enough to contribute.
