Introduction: The Coronavirus pandemic has led millions to succumb to the disease across the world, and overwhelmed the health care system. In this study we aimed at identifying whether the risk of Covid-19 infection is associated with ABO blood groups. Methods: We obtained data of 7056 Covid-19 confirmed cases from Yashwantrao Chavan Memorial Hospital, Pune. Results: The results showed that a significantly higher proportion of individuals with blood group A and AB tested positive for Covid-19, while a significantly lower proportion of individuals with O blood group tested positive for the same disease. Conclusion: Routine ABO testing of Covid-19 patients could guide in decision-making and management of Covid-19.
