The NHS blood donation service do not check donated blood for Covid 19 as they say there is no evidence that it can be transmitted by blood donation.
 
I put tissues and wipes that have been used to mop up blood into the bin, as well as used plasters, tampons and pads.
Obviously if you have an illness that can be passed on via blood then dispose of them in a way that poses no danger to other people.
