  • Thousands of coronavirus patients in hospitals around the world have been treated with convalescent plasma with varying evidence that it has any benefit
  • While more testing is ongoing to determine its usefulness as a potential COVID-19 treatment, a researcher is launching a nationwide study to determine how useful it could be for prophylaxis against the infection
  • The study would involve 150 volunteers including health workers and residents of nursing homes who would receive either plasma from COVID-19 survivors or regular plasma from uninfected patients
