The Red Cross warns the U S is facing its worst blood shortage in over a decade with less than a day’s supply of critical types and hospital distributions limited. Clark notes donors can register via the Red Cross app to schedule appointments and track where their blood ends up, such as to Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Cloverleaf Schools Reevaluating Mask Mandate Tuesday
Cloverleaf Schools will reassess the district wide mask mandate next Tuesday as COVID-19 absences span three buildings. High School rates peaked at 19% before dropping to 2.8% while Elementary showed 8.2% to 10.7% changes and Middle School rose to 6.7% amid ongoing quarantine and isolation. District rules trigger a 10 day mask period if absences exceed 6% for three straight days until a 4% threshold is met. Superintendent Daryl Kubilus notes the 19% spike proved unsustainable and promises clear communication pending data.
