SUMMARY. Data on the scientific literature on the role of blood groups according to the ABO system in susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection are summarized and systematized. Blood group II (A) is associated with greater susceptibility to COVID-19, while blood group I (O) shows increased resistance to coronavirus infection. The presence of anti-OA antibodies reduces the susceptibility of people with I (O) blood group to COVID-19. Increased activity of ACE-2 in people with II (A) blood group and excessive formation of plasma von Willebrand coagulation factors and VIII may contribute to the development of complications in COVID-19.
