On March 23, Lviv IT Cluster launched the <\/span><\/i>United for health<\/span><\/i> initiative. The project started within the IT community as a fast response to the events in Lviv and the region. Here we summarize what we managed to achieve from the start of the initiative.<\/span><\/i><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

During the first week, Lviv IT Cluster <\/span>raised 3 million UAH<\/span> among IT companies. The first step after raising funds was ordering 20,000 express tests for COVID-19. <\/span>Upon consultation with healthcare professionals<\/span>, the launch of mass testing of residents was made a priority that would allow us to be more aware of the situation and reveal statistics about the infection in Lviv and the region. Therefore, Lviv IT Cluster <\/span>initiated mass testing of the population for COVID-19 in Lviv and Lviv region<\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the next stage, Lviv IT Cluster <\/span>expanded beyond the IT community<\/span> and engaged citizens to donate funds. <\/span>You can still contribute and donate<\/span> for purchasing express tests for the city and region. Besides, IT Arena joined the initiative <\/span>donating 50% of each<\/span> ticket.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to financial support in the fight against COVID-19, IT companies utilized their expertise. Within the frames of the project, <\/span>technological solutions were created:<\/span> an interactive map of coronavirus spread in Lviv and the region and chatbots for medical staff. N-iX, Chatbots.Studio, and Bots Crew joined the campaign at this stage.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In cooperation with RIEL and the city administration, Lviv IT Cluster organized the testing of journalists. <\/span>82 journalists from Lviv <\/span>who have been working during the quarantine were tested for Covid-19.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As of now, <\/span>6 million UAH has been raised <\/span>as part of the project. A part of the funds was directed to <\/span>the Insurance Stabilization Fund for medical staff <\/span>in Lviv and the region, recently created by Lviv Regional State Administration. The Fund provides all healthcare practitioners who were infected while working with coronavirus patients with a lump sum payment. Also, Lviv IT Cluster purchased protective wear for all doctors who are working in PCR labs in Lviv. The suits will be handed over to the medical staff as soon as they are delivered.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

During the 50 days of the campaign,<\/span> 9858<\/b> people were tested in Lviv, with <\/span>125 <\/b>suspected coronavirus cases detected throughout the testing. In Lviv region, a total of <\/span>15139 <\/b>people were tested, out of which <\/span>16 <\/b>suspected cases revealed. However, the virus outbreak was detected in the Davydiv united territorial community \u2013 20 people were diagnosed with COVID-19 and 140 people who had contact with the patients were identified. At this point, Davydiv is quarantined with the entry and exit barred.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
