Canada's chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam says Canadians are getting the message that donating blood is safe.

Tam told the Senate today that both Canadian Blood Services and Hema-Quebec have put ``amazing'' systems in place to screen donors for symptoms of COVID-19 before allowing them into the blood donation centres.
