Lviv IT Cluster: United for Health

Ukraine still ranks last in the ranking of countries by the number of people tested for COVID-19. The experience of foreign countries shows that in addition to following the rules of hygiene, social distancing and quarantine, the most effective measure to reduce the scale of the pandemic and save human lives is mass testing accompanied by monitoring and isolation of infected individuals.

In cooperation with the SoftServe’s Corporate Charity Fund “Open Eyes”, Lviv IT Cluster, commences the second phase of the emergency project United for health. At this stage, everyone can participate and contribute to the organization of mass testing of citizens for COVID-19 in the Lviv and Lviv region.

!Please note that COVID-19 express tests can be carried out only if you have symptoms (fever and cough) or belong to a high-risk group (healthcare professionals; those who had contact with infected individuals; those who came back from foreign countries). Testing can only be carried out by mobile medical teams. The tests will not be distributed to the contributors, as they should be carried out by healthcare professionals, who will enter the results into the Ministry of Health’s database.
