Baahubali director SS Rajamouli, after being tested negative for Coronavirus, has begun encouraging people to take part in the plasma donation campaign. Taking to Twitter, the filmmaker wrote that the ‘antibiotics’ that develop in a human’s body stays for a ‘limited period’ only.
Hence, to help the medical front-liners who have invested their time in developing the vaccination for the deadly virus, he urged the cured COVID-19 people to ‘come forward and donate’ their plasma and become a ‘lifesaver’ for many on Wednesday, September 1.
The antibodies that develop stay in our system for a limited period of time only..

I request Everyone who are cured from #Covid19 to come forward and donate.
And become a life saver..🙏🏼🙏🏼
SS Rajamouli urges cured COVID-19 people to donate plasma
In addition, the director also mentioned that he wasn’t able to donate his plasma due to low IgE levels in his body. He stated that a person having an IgE level above 15 is only eligible to donate their antibodies. However, his was 8.62, which is way below the apt-mark. Having said that, the director added although he couldn’t do the donation process himself, his close relatives and friends have done the good deed.
