Plasma therapy is the latest experiment that has picked up steam as a potential treatment for COVID-19. It’s not exactly a new technique, and it should be noted, at this time, it is also one without conclusive evidence.

The ICMR has launched a national level study through randomised controlled trials to see if the therapy works.
