In the usus antiquor celebration of Holy Mass, only the priest receives the Sacred Blood of Christ. The Body of Christ is received by him and then offered to the congregants. In the novus ordo (re Vatican II reforms), both were offered to the laity via the priest and NUMEROUS extraordinary ministers.

Excuse my ignorance but could you date that form of the mass? I am a Roman Catholic who grew up with the Latin Mass pre VCII. I am also familiar with the Pre-Sanctified Liturgy celebrated in the Maronite Catholic Church, which is an adaption of the ancient Anaphora of Sharrar and is celebrated only on Good Friday. It is the only occasion where communion is restricted to the priest.
