Mumbai: Nearly a month after recovering from the coronavirus, actor Zoa Morani says she has donated her blood plasma to do her bit in helping the patients currently suffering from the novel virus.

The actor, who was quarantined and kept under medication in April, also urged those who have recovered from COVID-19 to donate their plasma.

“Donated my blood today for the Plasma therapy trials at Nair hospital. It was fascinating! Always a silver lining I suppose. The team there was so enthusiastic and careful. There was a general physician on standby just in case of emergency and the equipment brand new and safe (sic),” Zoa wrote on Instagram on Saturday.

She thanked the doctors for taking care of her and hoped patients benefit from the donation.

“All #Covid19 recovered people can be a part of this trial, to help others COVID patients recover! I hope this works #IndiaFightsCorona. They even gave me a certificate and Rs. 500. Won’t lie, I felt super cool today (sic),” she added.

Zoa, along with her sister Shaza and father, producer Karim Morani had tested positive for coronavirus in April. All three were discharged from the hospital after testing negative last month.
