Some Italian patients report improvement after receiving blood plasma

A report surfaced on Monday pointing to clinical benefits from what some observers touted as potentially one of the most promising treatments for the Covid-19 coronavirus.

However, the head of neumology at Italian hospital Poma de Mantova reportedly clarified that "it only works if the illness has not yet compromised the organs."
