The effects of blood group types on the risk of COVID-19 infection and its clinical outcome.

CONCLUSIONS: The results of the present study suggest that while the blood group A might have a role in increased susceptibility to the COVID-19 infection, the blood group O might be somewhat protective. However, once infected, blood group type does not seem to influence clinical outcome. PMID: 32496734 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
