Researchers found in their study that most of the people who died of the disease belong to the A blood group. There have been two lakh cases of corona worldwide and more than 7800 people have died.

According to the study, at the same time, people with O blood groups have become less infected with this disease or those with this blood group have lost their lives.

Researchers at Wuhan’s Center for Evidence-Based and Translation Medicine say people with A blood group need to focus on protecting themselves specifically to reduce the chance of infection.

The team, headed by Wang Shinghuan, is conducting the study and has called the study preliminary. At the same time, researchers say that more work needs to be done to arrive at a concrete conclusion.

Gao Yingdai, a researcher from Tianjin city, says, “If you have blood group A, there is no need to panic.” It does not mean that you will have a 100% infection. ”
