Travel results in a 28-day donation deferral period. Living in the country results in a three-month donation deferral period. The deferral does not apply to plasma donation. Living in the country means spending more than three months in the country in the past six months.

Everyone who lived in the country as a child (under the age of 5) is tested for antibodies to malaria in a blood test when they come to donate blood for the first time.
