Mass testing of the population and targeted testing of high-risk groups, particularly healthcare workers and journalists, was launched in Lviv and the region. Together with Lviv IT companies, Cluster provided PCR labs with personal protective equipment. Jointly with the Lviv Regional State Administration, an insurance program for medical staff in Lviv and the region was launched. In addition, a map of tracking the spread of coronavirus and a chat-bot for health monitoring were created.
