COVID Safety Protocols

Blood drives are an essential service outlined by the CDC and follow CDC-recommended safety protocols, including but not limited to:

• Spacing appointments to minimize contact between blood drive participants
• Pre-screening drive attendees to assess health markers prior to blood drive entry
• Requiring face masks for all drive attendees
• Spacing donors 6 feet apart throughout the drive
• Enhanced cleaning practices throughout the blood drive.

RADNOR TOWNSHIP DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH: Public Health policy remains an important priority of the Board of Commissioners and the community. To this end the Board of Health was established at the very beginning of the 1st Class Township status. The board now consists of 9 members of the community either following careers or having a strong interest in matters of public health. The board meets monthly, except for July and August, and the Township Health Officer reports to them on his activities and acts as a liaison between the board and the Township Administration.
