May 25, 2022 · Some research findings have suggested that people with blood types A and AB are more susceptible to contracting COVID-19, while those with blood type O are less likely to test positive...
The results of this review point to a possible increased risk of COVID-19 infection associated particularly with blood type A and a possible decreased risk of infection in blood type O, as most high-quality studies including either outpatients or hospitalized patients and with blood donors or non-blood donors as controls replicated this finding.

Mar 8, 2021 · The literature suggests that blood type O may serve as a protective factor, as individuals with blood type O are found COVID-19 positive at far lower rates. This could suggest that blood type O individuals are less susceptible to infection, or that they are asymptomatic at higher rates and therefore do not seek out testing.
