Thereafter, the donors will asked to stay in the refreshment area for at least 1 0 minutes following the donation.
At that time donors should start replenishing a fluids by having a soft drink, enjoy a snack and relax. The donors will asked to refrain from active movement or heavy lifting for the rest of the day.
