Tom Hanks is still donating his plasma to fight COVID-19

Hollywood star Tom Hanks has been donating convalescent plasma to help fight the coronavirus. The actor took to Instagram recently to share photographs. He captioned the photo: “Plasmatic on 3! 1,2,3 PLASMATIC!”

According to CNN, plasma derived from blood in people, like Hanks, who have successfully recovered from the virus, may contain antibodies that can potentially help others fighting the illness.

Last month, the Forrest Gump and Toy Story star shared a similar photo, following what appeared to be his first time donating plasma.

Back in March, Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson were hospitalised in Australia after testing positive.
