Plasma Donation
I had lost sense of taste and smell last month, no other issues. I wasn't tested for Covid though. Also, in Feb I had to undergo Septoplasty and Turbinoplasty.
Should I get antibodies test done? Would I be able to donate plasma? I have heard antibodies test can be futile and there's a risk of catching Covid getting out if I didn't really have Covid. What would you advise?

First of all you have to get tested for COVID-19( RTPCR/TRUNAT) followed by if positive you can wait till your report comes negative,after 21 days of negative report you can donate plasma depending upon your antibody titre.
And the last thing now it's least recommended to donate plasma for COVID patients as it's efficacy is not helpful.
Next Steps
Antibody testing is not futile and there will not be any risk of catching COVID infection.
