Here, we compared the ABO blood group distribution in 825 patients with COVID-19 confirmed by real-time PCR test from the hospitals in Baghdad and Hilla, The results showed that blood group O was associated with a higher percentage of acquiring COVID-19 compared with non-O blood groups the susceptibility of the infected with blood group O their ability to recover was 32% and B group 28% whereas 27% and 13% for A group and AB respectively. This is the first observation of an association between the ABO blood type and COVID-19 recovery patient. It should be emphasized, however, that this is an early study with limitations. However, it should encourage further investigation of the relationship between the ABO blood group and the COVID-19 susceptibility</Abstract> <AbstractLanguage>English</AbstractLanguage> <Keywords>ABO blood group, coronavirus, COVID-19</Keywords> <URLs> <Abstract>https://developer.ubipayroll.com/ubijournal-v1copy/journals/abstract.php?article_id=13136&title=Coronavirus: effects of blood group type on recovery of patients with COVID-19: Blood group and recovery percentage in COVID patients</Abstract> </URLs> <References> <ReferencesarticleTitle>References</ReferencesarticleTitle> <ReferencesfirstPage>16</ReferencesfirstPage> <ReferenceslastPage>19</ReferenceslastPage> <References>1-Rodriguez-Morales AJ, Bonilla-Aldana DK, Balbin-Ramon GJ, Rabaan AA, Sah R, Paniz-Mondolfi A, Pagliano P, Esposito S. 2020.
